Manually update Windows drivers

Windows operating system update delivery may cause some device or driver updates to fail during a normal operating system update. Your ESET application will continue to notify you of available updates. To resolve this issue, perform a manual update of these devices and drivers.

If you know which driver or device failed to update, follow the steps below to manually update them:

1. Press the Windows key + Q, type Device manager into the Search field and click Device manager.

2. Click View → Show hidden devices.

   

3. Navigate to the driver or device that requires a manual update, right-click it, and select Update Driver Software or Update driver from the context menu.

   

4. Click Search automatically for updated driver software. If an update is available, it will automatically be installed. In some cases, a system restart may be required to allow the updated driver to load.
