Driver/software Update App for Windows. Large supported base needed. Is there any?

[kiddingguy]

I am wondering because there are a zillion drivers available, is there a tool to check the hardware, and all related driver/software updates, in one program? Which is reliable and non-spyware?

I have to manually check all sites for drivers, like nvidia, Intel, Adobe, Microsoft/Office updates, and all other software installed (either manually or automatically, though I'm not fond of auto-updating) on my computer. Plus other driver hardware involved.

 

It will save me a lot of time and frustrating. And I am always up to date. So a large database of supported software apps and driver updates would be appreciated.

It can be free software, though I am willing to pay a small amount for it.

There is a review of some software update apps (i personally tested "SUMo" (also on their review), but i didn't use it since then.
Also for updating drivers i always use "DriverPack Solution" which is available in an online and offline pack and really nice to update drivers (This one i use a lot).

I'm with Brandon on Patchmypc .. while Sumo may have a much larger software database, Patchmypc includes the most commonly installed applications. Plus, the only applications they allow, are those with option of a "Silent / unattended" install, which means if you open patchmypc and it says it wants to update 10 apps, it will do so one after the other automatically with no user interaction.

Hello,

 

Is it really that difficult to perform the check manually?  Not trying to be snarky, but I'm just curious about this as I've always just visited each computer or silicon manufacturer's web site when I wanted to check on drivers (or run Device Manager and updated drivers for devices via the context menu).

 

Regards,
