Windows Update drivers

I got the drivers for my XPS 15z from here http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/xps-15z/drivers , but WIndows update offers updates pilot different devices.

Should I install them?

Install the drivers from Dell.com - software system first, then chipset, then all other cases managers - updated Windows will offer you all the drivers for your specific hardware that are newer than what you have installed.  In MOST cases, that's fine.  If you notice any problems, simply uninstall/rollback and hide the update.  I never saw a bad drivers from Windows Update once on 150 workstations + and a dozen different models, I managed.

  • ThinkPad t42 10 Windows update drivers

    The T42 there the driver updates to make it compatible with Windows 10?

    The CPU of 2 GHz in a T42 is a Dothan, so you will have no problem installing Windows 10 to 32-bit only, of course, it will boot from USB and he needs to pick up most often when installing devices. I recommend that you use the drivers of Windows Inbox instead of trying to force the very old drivers of the machine with compatibility/manual / installation.

    However, with the latest versions of Windows 10, older GPU Radeon Mobility, as in the T4x/T6o series will result in a BSOD if you try to install the older drivers for Vista (Win7 modded). I came across this one a few weeks ago on a T60 and all my methods to have the machine accept old drivers because it failed. You might be stuck with the conduct of the display with the basic display driver Microsoft, which does not support the bases even if and to a proper resolution.

    If you have the time and you want to experiment on the venerable T42, I recommend it. It's very fun.

  • After that windows update, the resolution of my screen has been reduced.

    I can't return address. Re-installation of software has failed. What should do?

    Use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem.  To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore.  Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    Moreover, if you install option via Windows update drivers, that's how many people enter in this kind of situation.  You only need to update the drivers from the website of the manufacturer of your computer, and then only when you have a problem to solve.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • Windows Update keeps reminding about driver Canon MP560 printer

    Win Update continues to remind me of an updated driver that I have already installed via Win Update (Canon MP560 Printer driver). Why?

    I get an update Canon MP560 series printer driver is available after I have already installed this driver through Win Update. Installed several times with the same results.

    You should get no 3rd hardware part from Windows Update drivers.

    You should always get them directly from the hardware manufacturer.

  • Windows Update broke the card drivers and graphic display; Impossible to reinstall either.

    On 5 October, I installed two optional Windows updates:

    1 - display - nVidia NVIDIA GeForce 6600GT

    nVidia Display software update released in July 2010

    2 Samsung - display - SyncMaster 2494SW (digital)

    Updated software Samsung screen released in August 2009

    After installation and reboot, my screen resolution is now set to 1280 x 1024 (max resolution) and the monitor is not recognized in front of a default monitor. -http://www.verityhw.com/uploader/files/1/display_settings.png

    I tried to install the latest nVidia on their site (258.96) drivers, and they say that they installed, but on reboot, there is no change.

    I tried to install the drivers for the monitor Samsung 2494SW, but he does not see a device to install the drivers on. -
    http://www.verityhw.com/Uploader/files/1/2494sw_driver.PNG

    I looked in the Device Manager and saw that there was an error with my nVidia 6600GT. -http://www.verityhw.com/uploader/files/1/device_manager.png

    By clicking on properties, I see that the error is Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) . -http://www.verityhw.com/uploader/files/1/6600gt_properties.png

    Of course Windows has not completely stopped the device because I still have the graphics, although terrible ones.

    I looked at the drivers installed for the 6600GT and they seem to be the most recent of those (8.17.12.5896).

    At this point, I'm all out of ideas. Everything worked fine before the Windows Update and there is apparently no way to uninstall updates. (I tried to uninstall the drivers of the 6600GT, but it just keeps back to 8.17.12.5896's).

    Any help is appreciated!

  • Drivers for laserjet 4 on Windows 7 without using Windows update

    I want to install drivers for my Laserjet 4 on my Windows 7 computer.  I saw your instructions and the "windows update" button does not appear on my computer.  It is probably because it is a Government computer and they like to control the updates of windows.  I am an administrator on my machine and logging an admin does not help.  Can you give us just the driver directly?

    Hello:

    Please see my solution to the question in the thread below.

  • Windows Update has no "Driver" tab and Windows Update provides no way of specifically updated device drivers that do not work correctly.

    Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) shows no "Driver" tab within the "Windows Update" program... and I can not specify in any way I want to update the drivers. Help! Does anyone have an idea where I can go to in Microsoft.com to perform updates of my drivers on my machine?

    I expect your reply.

    You are welcome.

    And certainly let us know how it works.

    ____________________________________

    Here is some other information about the Windows updates for you, I put in place some time and which you may find useful if you are having problems with Windows updates:

    Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

    You must only obtain the latest drivers for them to the site of the real hardware manufacturer, like Microsoft normally does not have these latest drivers available as Microsoft invokes the material part 3rd RTOS provide.

    But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

    You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

    'Remove an update'

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

    'Remove an update - Windows 7'

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/remove-update#1TC=Windows-7

    Or the other of these two update settings will give you the chance to see what you want to install through Windows updates;

    Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

    But remember you normally only have problems with hardware 3rd party drivers. Other updates are to improve the Performance and security of your system

  • Windows Vista drivers not install ALL or update of new pilots

    About two weeks ago, I had a problem with my computer marketing and don't not loading Windows. He gave me the option to start Windows normally or repair of launch Windows. I tried to run normally and windows still only would be not loaded correctly, so the next time the computer is started, I launched the Windows repair instead.

    Later, I tried to save my Blackberry smartphone on my Blackberry Desktop Software program (which has been on my computer since I bought it 01/05/2009. But it does not recognize the hardware. So I plugged back it it and it began to automatically search for the driver (Driver Installation Program). It says install software device driver and he's looking for preconfigured driver folders. Of waiting for the user to input and gives me the choice: 1) locate and install driver software (recommended) (2) Ask me 3 again later.) Do not show this message for this device.  I choose option 1 and it gives a message, DEVICE DRIVER installation of MICROSOFT WINDOWS SOFTWARE and I support on continue. It gives the message: SEARCHING WINDOWS UPDATE, WINDOWS UPDATE DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING the DRIVER SOFTWARE. Then a message saying: Windows encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device. Windows found driver software for your device, but it has encountered an error trying to install it. He also says: the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

    Now, I didn't know what was wrong, so I tried to ask for help with material assistance and Paretologic PC Health Advisor and they are quite a few outdated drivers and asked if I wanted that they find new updated drivers, I agree.  And he again... the SAME EXACT PROCESS I HAVE INDICATED above. It will not install the drivers again and it will not install updates for all drivers more.
