DriverMax
DriverMax scans Windows PCs for devices with newer drivers and shows reports on how driver packages performed on other machines. Its catalogue covers more than 2,300,000 devices. Driver matching considers hardware and compatible IDs, driver date, declared operating system, and performance reports. Before installation, it archives the current driver and creates a Windows restore point; it can also back up and restore drivers. Packages are checked for threats and signatures, with signing status shown before installation. Scheduled background scans are included in both Free and PRO. The free plan allows unlimited scanning, backup, and restore, but limits installations to two per day and ten per month. Paid plans remove that limit and start at $4.95 per month. DriverMax 18 supports Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, and 7 in 32-bit and 64-bit editions, plus corresponding Windows Server editions. During scanning, hardware identifiers leave the PC for lookup. The app lets users contact support and review or untick application logs and Windows details before sending.
