Plans and pricing

There’s a free version of Advanced Driver Updater anyone can download. However, this version has limited features compared to the premium one. Hence, it’s ideal to pay for the premium version to make the most of the software.

Features

Driver Scan and Update

The core feature of Systweak’s Advanced Driver Updater is to scan your PC and report the outdated drivers. The software checks your PC’s drivers against millions of drivers in its database to know which ones are obsolete. Afterward, it generates a list of the outdated drivers, and you can update them within the app.

You can update the drivers individually or collectively with the click of a button. 

Advanced Driver Updater lets you set schedules to run an extensive scan on your PC’s drivers. It could be daily, weekly, or anytime your PC boots afresh. This way, you don’t have to launch the app every time to check up on your drivers.

Performance

Keep your PC running at peak performance by scheduling automatic driver updates (Image credit: Systweak)

You can download backup versions of your disk drivers and restore them when needed. This feature is vital because some driver updates could cause malfunctions. In such a case, just restore the backup version of whichever driver is malfunctioning to get your PC working as usual.

Hardware Errors

Interface and in use

We found it easy to download and install Advanced Driver Updater. The setup file is readily available on Systweak’s official website. Afterward, run it, and installation begins. It took less than five minutes to install during our test. After installing, you can start using the basic free features. If you paid for the premium version, you could immediately use the activation key to unlock all the features.

Support

Systweak provides customer support through email. There’s no telephone or live chat support. There’s also a detailed FAQ page and user guide for Advanced Driver Updater published on its website.

The competition

Ashampoo Driver Updater and AVG Driver Updater are two common alternatives to Systweak Advanced Driver Updater. They are on par in features though they are both a great deal cheaper.

Final verdict

Advanced Driver Updater is a suitable tool for ensuring your disk drivers are constantly updated. However, it lacks extra features outside the basic driver update, backup, and restore. It’s also only compatible with the Windows OS, which is a drawback.
