How to keep Windows 7 drivers updated programmatically.

What is the best software proven to keep my Windows 7 drivers up to date and avoid blue screens?

Hello

Check manually, this is by far the best method:

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded: (run DriverView - VIEW set to hide
Microsoft drivers - update those without drain in the names out there. This utility is not an automatic
Update, it makes it just easier to know what driver versions are loaded and set to update manually
the drivers).

-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.

Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.

Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
get new manually if you wish.

  • How to keep Windows Contacts to update if you use Windows Live Mail... only for iphone

    Dear people of MS,

    The guys at tech Windows Live forum helped me as much as they could, but suggested I bring my topic to give you is a question re: Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail (WLM).

    Anyway, I had a computer crash on my Vista computer (all data had been backed up fine - it is) but in the meantime I bought a notebook with Windows 7 above. I started to use WL Mail on my new computer and when I finally got my old a return of the boutique (Vista), I downloaded WL Mail so that I would use same program of electronic mail on both computers. It makes sense to me.

    However, I have since discovered that when my iphone syncs with my computer, it only picks up the contacts of my Contacts from Windows Messaging folder, and * not * those of my WL Mail one.

    Question: what do I do if I want to keep my Windows Mail contacts up to date, ensuring that all new Contacts that I have receipt/get through WLM are also in my Windows Contacts so that when I sync my iphone the iphone is up-to-date with Windows Contacts.

    Windows Mail Contacts are so easy to see and then move that WL those who are not. It's horrible!

    Can you please help - after reading a lot of posting on the website of Windows Live, I'm assuming that I need to import the WL Contacts in Contacts in Windows Messaging is that correct? Is there anything else I should know or should do?

    Thank you very much.

    Best,

    Psych :)

    Hey Psych13 and Gary,.

    Looks like you two neglected, first paragraph, of Halima. Just to summarize his position, it is not possible to synchronize contacts between Windows Live Mail and Windows Contacts. They don't like each other, there's bad blood there. :)

    Assuming that you have different contacts Contacts Windows and your Windows Live Mail, the third link posted Halima will help you to consolidate your contacts in a single application.

    And assuming that you need help to set up your iPhone to sync with Windows Live Mail, you can use the fourth link for help.

    Let me know if you have any questions!

  • How to stop windows vista automatic updates

    Whenever I connect to the internet, I get an update automatic windows vista. This drains my allowance of month for the internet in a few minutes and I can't find an option to stop the download updates automatically.

    It's cost me money, I pay to go on my internet allowance, and I can't stop it!

    See the following articles

    You should not receive updates each time you turn on the computer. Microsoft releases security updates the second Tuesday of each month at 10:00 am PST. No security updates may appear to be the fourth Tuesday of the month. Updates to the Windows Defender definitions are issued twice a week. Windows Security Essentials (if you have one) will be updated daily. There are occasional updates outside this cycle. You should check your update history where an update fails to install and is given several times.

  • my PC and windows 10 cannot play nice how to keep windows 7 and no. unwanted Windows 10 updares or auto download to Bam Windows 10 MORE EVER

    I tried windows 10 and have used the functionality of recovery more than the computer itself for 3 months!

    so I unchecked give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates.

    so, if I find a bunch of optional updates, even though they say windows 7 are actually for windows 10 as I've already seen 2 updates that others say are the door open for download this piece of JUNK!

    my PC works well MICROSOFT with windows 7, I want 10 free WINDOWS and I sure I want to pay $10 or $1000 for it not today tomorrow not ever.

    rant on so if I see recommended updates I can assume this is striktly for my windows 7 ultimate only see I disabled the above mentioned check.

    I can also uninstall IE 11 and my PC will work as expected I use chrome for now at least is not in my face all the time Hey upgrade to windows 10.

    Please let know us if I can use my windows 7 and Mossy on the road, knowing that any updates I install recommended updates will keep my PC running windows 7.

    Thank you

    You cannot uninstall IE, but you can disable it.  Go to your "run" box and type optionalfeatures (one word) and in the next area, you get just disable IE.

  • How to backup Windows 7 drivers?

    How can I backup all my drivers? I can burn to a cd and if so... How can I do and where can I find them?
    I don't have a cd that has drivers toshiba on this... so I need to save...
    Thanks for your time

    I put t know which model of laptop you have, but the fact is that, since long time Toshiba doesn't provide laptops with driver CD.
    In general do not backup all drivers. When you want to, you can download them all from the Toshiba download page - http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    What you need to do is to create recovery discs that you can use for installing the OS. This recovery image contains utilities, tools and the necessary drivers al.

    Only drivers that you need if you want to install the version of the OS using the Microsoft installation disc.
    I hope I could help a little. If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • How to keep the source of updated model table?

    Hello


    Database MS SQL source-
    Target - Oracle


    I have a reverse engineering source and tables targets say 'src_table' and 'trg_table' respectively. The data are available in src_table. I have implemented an interface named "Load_Interface", which loads the data from the source of 'src_table' to
    'trg_table '. My Interface works very well. But I have one query, assume that my source (in the database not in ODI) update table.

    Should I do reverse engineering on the source model again to update the 'src_table' in the model of ODI?

    Because I want to run this interface on the daily basis. Is it possible to src_table automatically update once updated the table in MS SQL?

    Thank you
    Shrinivas

    Hi Shrinivas,

    Is not mandatory, you can run the interface and get settled.

    Some of the approach that you can follow,

    1. use IKM incremental update to capture him and the calendar frequently.

    2. use the CDC to capture these modified from the source data.

    http://odiexperts.com/tag/simple-CDC

    3 use the ODI utilities to trigger the interface once new data has arrived (OdiWaitForLogData, OdiWaitForData etc.)

    Thank you

  • Windows 10 - How do I stop the auto update July 29

    Hi all!

    I just purchased a Lenovo Yoga 3 14. I am trying to set up (any suggestions welcome, but I have been reading this forum and looking online for help) and have been unable to find an answer to the following question.

    The agent told me that any PC, I bought (which currently has Windows 8.1) automatically updates itself to Windows 10 July 29, once connected to the internet.

    My problem is that I will be sitting at the bar at the end of the month with this laptop (ending June 30). The bar exam using ExamSoft (by SofTest), which does not support Windows 10 (again, not guaranteed by the bar exam - and certainly not something I want to have to worry). Review of software requires an internet connection to download the review, although it is not connected to the internet, other than for the upload.

    I turned off the auto update (for now) and am hoping that if I do not connect to the internet for a long time (although I can't control how long and it may need to be connected for a long time to download), it will not be updated. Does anyone know of a way I can stop this automatic update? (When I've updated my old laptop Win8, then 8.1, I could opt for the update and run it when I chose, but also go back to the old version if I did not like the news. "It seems strange to me that there is an automatic update without option).

    Thanks in advance!

    As mentioned Atli, it won't auto update. By getting the so-called "reservation", you still get to determine when the update is installed after that date, but it will significantly speed up the upgrade process because you don't have to wait for a download of 3 GB.

    To uninstall the callback, see: http://www.ghacks.net/2015/04/17/how-to-remove-windows-10-upgrade-updates-in-windows-7-and-8/

  • Error 80070103 updates Windows installing drivers for laptop HP keeps repeating

    I have a HP dv7 laptop with Win7 SP1 (64-bit), 6 GB of RAM and all updates.

    Recently, I received another set of 3 that are specific to the hardware of my HP laptop.  I checked, and 2 other Microsoft and proceeds to their installation.  2 Microsoft installed OK, but the 3 which are for hardware of the laptop, failed.  (Update the Intel driver for another liaison WiFi, Intel - hardware and Realtek network card) The screenshot is (the center of the 3 lines):

    I right click each of the 3 defective items and screenshots are:

    I then right click on the line with the text: [Code 80070103 "Get help with this error"]

    and got this message for all 3 screens.  I enclose you one of them, because they are the same:

    A few hours later same updates Windows 3 reappears and I installed them again, this time stopping at the antivirus and anti-malware programs.  There was no difference - I had the same failed installation attempts.

    I would very appreciate advice, suggestions or recommendations on how to make these updates of Windows installed properly and successfully.

    Thanking you in advance.

    You should be happy that they're fail because generally, it is never a good idea to accept installation hardware (audio, video, network), drivers offered by Windows Update.

    If you look on this error page:

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/help/10164/i-got-an-error-code-from-Windows-Update

    It is said:

    If you receive Windows Update error 0 x 80070103 while installing updates, you might be trying to install a driver is already installed on your computer or a driver that might be less compatible that you have already installed.

    Microsoft does not know what are the best drivers for your system and you should only get updated hardware driver of your WWW site of system manufacturers and only when you know that the update may solve a particular problem.

    There are many topics where people blindly install all the updates that are available from MS, then the find something on their system which suddenly ceased to behave (audio, video, network).

    If you see these hardware driver update offered by Windows Update, that is better right click and hide them so never see again you them.

    You can read this topic where I described how to keep MS you offer hardware driver updates in the first place:
