Outbyte Driver Updater is an official program for Windows that identifies outdated, missing or malfunctioning drivers and provides up-to-date replacements from verified sources.
Safe
After launching, it is advisable to complete a deep scan and detect old hardware components. Just like DriversCloud, there are download links from official manufacturers and trusted sources, minimizing the risk of faulty or malicious software. Each suggested driver version is validated for compatibility with the system to prevent instability or incorrect installation.
Convenience
It is possible to update all necessary drivers at once with a single-click. There are scheduled scans, so you can automate checks and maintenance at convenient times. What is more, before applying any changes, the app creates automatic backups and restore points to protect system integrity. If an upgraded item causes issues, you are able to quickly revert to a previous version using the built-in restore option.
However, during checking the installer on suspicious files, VirusTotal detected a malware which may cause damage not only to computers but also data stored in drives. Therefore, if your PC is not protected with comprehensive antivirus, it is better to find another alternative for updating drivers.
