Microsoft has conceived the newest versions of Windows quite well, and as to update to drivers in Windows 11 (driver update) most of the time is not necessary. The Windows Update system constantly brings the latest versions of the drivers and all you have to do is set a frequency of updates.

There are also scenarios in which Windows Update is looking for the most optimized drivers for both PC or laptop hardware and auxiliary components. If something does not work properly at an internal component (such as graphics, processor) or auxiliary components (webcam, printer) you can access optional drivers. Driver Updates in Windows 11.

In the situation where everything works well on the operating system and all hardware components operate in optimal parameters, driving updates are not meaningful. Not infrequently, it happens that some optional updates will lead to printing problems, video card, webcam, monitor or components.

Tot la “Advanced options” avem si optiunea care ne intereseaza pe noi pentru acest tutorial. Optional updates.

In the UPDATE Drivers panel that opens you have two updating methods. Automatic Driver's Search and installing the best versions (Search automatically for drives) or Manual search, when you have to indicate the exact place where the driver is (Browse my computer for drives).

It is always the first option.
