Anyone know of a good reputable program for finding driver/program updates. Obviously one that does both would be good, but if you know of 2 separate ones please include those as well. Thanks!

Finding a problem is more difficult than just fixing everything. Use DDU to remove your drivers and start fresh

I don't have any problems. I'm simply looking for a program to simply check for updates for drivers and/or programs. (Because i'm lazy and don't want to manually look for them) :)

the drivers you already have should do that for you.....what GPU do you have?

I know my GPU software has an update tool (R9 390) I'm talking about the less, feature full drivers such as my WiFi driver and things along those lines...

Ohhhhh.......idk, most of those tend to not need updates and whenever one is needed drivers are usually auto installed.

Alright, how about software updates for programs... or would you recommend me manually looking for those from time to time.
