Auslogics unveils Driver Updater

Australian utilities developer Auslogics has released Driver Updater, a commercial tool which can update all your PC drivers with a click.

If you’ve tried anything similar, the program’s core abilities won’t surprise you. Launch a scan and any outdated drivers are quickly listed, along with the dates and times of the latest version. You’re then able to update all your drivers, or just a select few.

There’s a welcome option to ignore particular devices, handy if you’d prefer to manage some drivers yourself.

As a bonus, it’s also possible to back up and restore any or all of your drivers. This may help you recover if a driver update (or any other unexpected driver issue) causes a problem.

Driver Updater is priced at $39.95/ year for up to 3 PCs, which seems expensive to us when tools like SlimDrivers are available for free.

Still, at a first glance the program did a good job of picking up system driver issues on our test PC.

If you’d like to test Driver Updater’s abilities for yourself then you can run the free version on your own PC, but beware, this reports on outdated drivers only -- there’s no automated update.
