is this normal?

[Mohammed2935]

I am using windows 10 1803 right now, I noticed that windows/driver booster 6 installed the same drivers 3 times.

is it normal?

Why do you use driver booster if i may ask?
Usually windows finds all of them by itself, and if the pc is somewhat recent most manufactures have drivers on their website.

i get that, but i find most driver software to either be, unreliable, or malicious.
alot of the times they do things wrong or break things.
I have never had succes with any driver booster.
So i reccomend just getting the latest official drivers from the manufacturers website.

 

just start with that

My MB is very old, it is Z87X OC FORCE so every driver is old (2015) on the MB website.

If you're using driver boosters / super driver installers etc. then yes - it's "normal".

DO NOT use driver boosters, registry cleaners, or any software that promise to boost your PC performance. These software are snake oil, and they cause harm more than good.
