Solved How to check for out of date drivers

My Windows version is 24H2 Build (OS Build 26106.4946). Is there a reliable way to check for out of date drivers other than checking them one at a time? I know CCleaner has an option for this that is accessible with a subscription. I think it would be available with a trial, but I don't know how reliable it is.

Thanks,
Howard

I've never used it, but there is a support tool for your HP.

Would probably also help if you placed in the "Computer type" section of your System Specs, the full Model number listed under your laptop.

The support tool Seymour posted would be your best bet, the risk of installing an incorrect driver if you're not sure what you're doing, can be detrimental. The model number would still be good though.
Some here don't like support tools for laptops, personally I believe they are purposely built & fine.
I use the HP, Dell & the Lenovo Support software

Other than the drivers for the video card and the BT/WiFi, not much changes. And even they rarely add anything new.

I'm not a fan of the term "out of date drivers". Support sites such as this are filled with posts from users who screwed up their systems by updating drivers unnecessarily (often using 3rd party driver utilities). That's not to say drivers should never be updated. But for the most part, drivers should only be updated if the new driver has added a feature, security enhancement, or performance improvement that the user needs, or has corrected a fault that was present in a prior version. And even then, drivers should only be downloaded from the OEM website or, in the case of laptops, the website of the laptop manufacturer.

Bottom line, if your system is working well, why mess with it? And if you do plan on updating drivers, please create a disk image first. That way, if any problems ensue you can easily go back to where you were before you installed the new drivers (rolling back to earlier versions is not foolproof - disk imaging pretty much is ).

Just my 2 cents.

Windows updates and the Manufacturers App already mentioned take care of all driver updates, this particularly true for Laptops with their integrated OEM hardware.

It does not matter about supposedly out of date drivers, there are millions of dubious driver updater tools whose objective is to scare users with fake facts.

Thanks for the responses. Additional information is always welcomed.

The model number is not listed on the bottom of my laptop. This is from the HP support site:

HP Pavilion Laptop 15-eg1073cl (4S157UA)​

Is this the information you wanted:

The only drivers I normally update are from Intel (graphics and display)

Yes, thanks. Whack that into your System Specs for the future, where it says “Manufacturer/Model”

There are some pretty recent updates to Firmware and drives for that Laptop.
As Seymour suggested, if it were me, I’d load the Hp Support Assistant Software

Thanks for the advice. I just download HP Support Assistant. Thanks again ...

Appreciate all who chimed in. Have a good Labor Day ...
