DriverGeek lists every device on the machine with its current driver version, date and
provider, then checks which of them have a newer release available.
Windows Update only offers the drivers Microsoft has certified for your hardware and stays
quiet about the rest, so a machine can sit on a driver that is years out of date without ever
being told. DriverGeek shows the whole picture and leaves the decision to you.
Nothing is installed behind your back, there is no bundled driver pack and there is no paid
tier. It reads the driver inventory locally and only reaches the network to ask whether a
newer version exists.
