I agree DriverIdentifier being web based is not as preferred. That's one of the issues that some users may have with the program, as some would prefer the list to be displayed on the desktop and not the web.

This takes about 30 seconds before results are opened in the default web browser. A click on the Scan Drivers button checks the PC's hardware and installed drivers. The program needs to be installed on the system before it can be run. Users who just blindly install the suggested drivers may end up with a broken system.ĭriverIdentifier is a free application that scans all drivers currently installed on the system to compare their versions with the latest recorded version in the service's database.

These programs have their purpose, but only for users who care to double-check suggested driver updates before they install the drivers on their system. I'm not a big fan of applications that scan a system for hardware driver updates, as it can happen that updates are suggested that are either not compatible with the installed hardware, or not beneficial to the system.
