![]() ![]() With Windows 10, I’ve developed a procedure: if it fails to install network drivers during installation, use SDIO to get the network running then start Windows Update to complete the job of installing the rest of the drivers. In some cases Win10 can’t even get basic network drivers installed. However there remain many situations where Windows fails to find the correct drivers. Indeed, if Win10 is successful getting a full set of drivers installed then your work is done. Having said that, there are two things to keep in mind: you don’t want to be running SDIO from a USB drive while you are updating the USB drivers, you don’t want to be running SDIO from a network drive while you are updating the network drivers Windows 10 Seems To Do A Good Job With Drivers During Installation. You could even burn it to a dvd if you were so inclined (though I can’t imagine why you would). I have it on a thumb drive and an iODD as well as a WD external drive. ![]() It does not matter what device you put it on. Can I Run SDIO From A Portable Drive Or Do I Have To Install It? So it’s safe to say if the device is working then you shouldn’t be installing different drivers. ![]() (Internet) simply means it’s not available on local storage but it’s available for download on one of the update streams. It’s now up to you to draw on your vast store of knowledge and experience to go through this list of alternatives and choose another driver with the best chance of getting the device working. If the top driver doesn’t get the device working, you’ve got options. If you click the double down arrows you’ll open up a list of alternative drivers for the device. The gui presents the devices on the system and it’s preferred driver. The decision lies with you and you should never go blindly installing device drivers without a good reason and a rollback plan. The algorithm for choosing a preferred driver is really quite good but it’s not infallible. “More Optimal” is always a good choice and is generally at the top of the offerings as the one most preferred by SDIO itself. If you have a choice between signed and not signed you’d probably choose signed but if that didn’t work you might be willing to try alternatives. On the other hand if a newer driver got installed that broke a device, you’d be looking to install an older driver, probably one around the same vintage as the device. Here’s a thing: if you’re trying to solve a problem with a malfunctioning device and SDIO has an “Updated” driver, you’d probably go ahead and install that because there’s a reasonable chance that might solve your problem. But this isn’t the case, to cover a wide variety of situations you need to have options. If that were absolutely true there would be no need to have 16.7GB of drivers on hand. There is no absolute rule to say that “Updated” drivers should always be installed. ![]() SDIO gives you options because sometimes you need options. Is it safe to say that I should only update drivers that say “Updated Driver Available”? There’s no set day of the week, it’s whenever Sam gets to it. If you check once a week you’ll be pretty much up to date. There are two torrents it checks for updates: the first is the SDIO torrent which includes the application and driver packs, if that torrent is up to date it checks the second torrent which is just the driver packs but is updated more frequently. Both versions of the program do not require installation and can be run from portable media.By default SDIO checks for updates when it starts. The latter are necessary to check the compatibility of downloaded drivers. Snappy Driver Installer provides complete information about the software being installed and also collects basic technical data of your PC. Before starting the installation, the user can create a checkpoint for system recovery and, in case of problems or conflicts with other drivers, easily "roll back" to it. You can specify the folder where the uploaded files will be saved. Installation files are downloaded at the highest speed, with which you are ready to "give up" their official site. It will take the program only a couple of minutes to analyze the missing software. Snappy Driver Installer also has a driver-packed version that works without a network connection. From other similar decisions the given appendix first of all distinguishes that fact that it is absolutely free and does not put before the user of any restrictions. Snappy Driver Installer is a program used for searching for missing drivers and updating outdated drivers of various devices. ![]()
