Although this program limits the number of downloads you can perform per day, you can still check for outdated drivers as often as you want. You're just limited when it comes to downloading them. I talk more in the review about why this isn't as bad of a limit as it might sound.
Driver updates for Windows, along with many devices, such as network adapters, monitors, printers, and video cards, are automatically downloaded and installed through Windows Update. You probably already have the most recent drivers, but if you'd like to manually update or reinstall a driver, here's how:
LAC. If you cannot get the Driver Updater to uninstall, follow this Microsoft article to perform a "system restore", using a restore point PRIOR to installing driver updater. Use the second link and follow the instructions in the area labeled "Restore from a system restore point". When the recovery is successful DO NOT reinstall nor use Driver Updater. The same scenario will more likely than not reappear if you do.
The issue with opening up firewall permissions, is I have them blocked for a reason. It's not worth it to allow microsoft's electric eye to shine its pale malevolent glow on me, just for a simple updater tool.
Same happened to me too. It took ages to run the Driver updater for the 5 drivers announced, next thing I see is that a new start was started (without my ok) and then a blue screen, which I couldn't get out of.
I paid for a pro version especially to get the driver updater, but this gave me more grief than I needed at that particular time. You have obviously bitten off more than you can chew. Never again. I feel I have been cheated.
Yes, the driver updater has an unpleasant habit of ignoring the fact that some of the updates require immediate restarts. It just keeps grinding away. This means that one gets the NBA (Nasty Blue Screen) at restart, and the only way back is to re-install Windows 10 and rebuild the PC from scratch. This has happened to me twice in the past week. The only work-around is to run the updates one at a time, which is very time-consuming, and certainly no better than any of the free tools that allow one-at-a-time installation of multiple driver updates.
yeah BIFF same thing happened to me...... My Toughbook Panasonic Military Laptop CF-31 MK4 both are bricked. After being on CCleaner for thousands of years, I was hesitant to install CCLeaner on my Military Laptops, but after installing CCleaner updated all my drivers through Microsoft, I used their CCleaner New Update Driver Program ... said it needed to update 21 drivers, Wuuuuuut ? Seriously
So I opted to use that service after accepting the 14 day trial. It started updating all my 21 drivers I needed, after reset my Supervisor Password was changed. I know my password because I've been using the same password for 20 years, and I know I'm not stupid, my password doesn't work anymore so I know for 1,000 % fact that CCLeaner changed my Supervisor PWD. But CCleaner says no !!!! and after reading your issue regarding your computer being BRICKED. Man what a relief ... so I know I'm not lying or stupid. CCleaner has to believe me now because I have $2K worth of laptops just sitting here BRICKED, it's so upsetting to the point I'm trying to calm myself after these engineers are telling me that's impossible. Well you know in the computer world impossible can be possible. Not all software's are perfect in any which way.
It's upsetting ... my blood is boiling, I know my password and I know CCleaner is responsible for this problem they have with their UPDATE DRIVER program. I hope they fix it .... if they can't at least send me 2 BIOS Chips at $24.00 ea. and I'll fix it myself and replace the BIOS with a non password. Then I'll shut up and not bad mouth CCleaner for their software mistake. Coders aren't perfect.

Hi Lageeks, CCleaner could not help me at all. Whatever got into my desktop during the CCleaner driver update managed to get into my laptop because of my stupidity in using a flash drive between them in an attempt to fix the desktop. I had to take it into a computer repair shop and luckily I had a complete backup on a separate hard drive but it cost me near $200. The laptop was a hopeless case so I just switched it over to Linux.

Driver updater programs (eg. WinZip driver updater) finds lots of outdated drivers while in the scan only mode. Then, when you purchase the program, the new drivers are "found" immediately, and no new drivers are needed again for a long time. Or worse, when the program is purchased, all drivers are miraculously up to date. I come to this conclusion because when running WinZip driver free scan version updater, it sometimes finds no drivers out of date, and sometimes finds 22 drivers out of date. It makes me suspicous. When I contacted their tech support, the only answer I got was to buy the program!!?
My personal experience is to stay away from driver updating software. The problem with these are that they often provide inaccurate information on your drivers and could potentially cause serious issues with your pc if you install an incorrect driver. The best place to get updated drivers is from your manufacture.
WinZip Driver updater is a great application. BUT don't buy the paid version. The paid version will only install on one computer. (The EULA led me to believe I could install it on all my household computers). The free version will tell you enough to enable you to find and install updated drivers yourself.
I am trying to update a Zen 25 firmware. I uploaded the Z-wave Firmware updater and saved it in the from The built it app. I went to the device an under the Type is where I thought the driver would be. I scrolled down but the file is not there. I thought it might be were Zwave Basic Tool would be but no. What steps am I missing. I have the Zen 25-V2.00 zip file from Zooz support.
To find the updater I went to github and found djdizzyd a 24.2 kb file. I copied the raw data. Next step would be to add it to the driver code. I click new driver in Hubitat and it asks for the url not the data. This is where I get confused. So I thought to just paste the code. That didn't work I got an error. Its been so long ago when I did the basic zwave tool like 3 years ago. At 74 I sometimes forget why I got up to go into the other room.
