Driver Booster
Driver Booster is a Windows utility that scans a system, checks device-driver status, and can install or update drivers automatically. It covers GPUs, printers, audio, network, chipset, USB, and other hardware. The free database lists more than 19 million drivers; the PRO database lists more than 23 million. Driver checks use Microsoft WHQL verification and an IObit security scan. Scheduled maintenance, junk cleanup, restore points, and driver rollback are included. Gaming tools provide Game Ready updates, Game Boost, and repair for more than 60 game components and 680 DLLs. PRO adds offline updating and automatic backups of previous drivers. Supported systems include Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7, XP, and Windows 10/11 ARM64. The minimum requirements are a 1 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM, and 1 GB free disk space. A free plan is available; listed PRO pricing includes $39.95 a year for one PC and $74.85 a year for three PCs.
