Info Motherboard update Apps

[Colif]

If you motherboard has been made in the last 5 years or so, there is a really big chance there is a driver updating app made by the manufacturer.

Asus - AI Suite has an addon that will update drivers, Utilities & BIOS
Asrock - Asrock App shop will update drivers, utilities & BIOS
Gigabyte - App Center will update drivers, utilities & BIOS
MSI - Live Update 6 will update drivers, utilities & BIOS

I cannot link to them as they are found on the Utilities area of each individual Motherboard website and not all motherboards get the apps.

I will add OEM Driver support as well to list

HP Support Assistant - https://www8.hp.com/au/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html
Lenovo - Need to visit website of device and it will offer to scan device for updates
DELL - Dell Support assistant - https://www.dell.com/support/conten...edgebase/software-and-downloads/supportassist
Intel - https://www.intel.com.au/content/www/au/en/support/intel-driver-support-assistant.html

And lets not forget MIcrosoft can sometimes be useful - https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/home.aspx



The last place you should ever get driver updates for new hardware is 3rd party driver update programs as they are not guaranteed to get the right drivers. I am not even going to suggest any as I don't trust any of them.

Always go to makers if PC is new.

Asus AI Suite has been integrated into Armory so the update process might just be part of it now.

Gigabyte App Centre always selects everything on launch and you don't want everything.
if you click on the tick in the header columns it deselects everything below it in that section.

I don't have any usage advice for the other motherboard apps as I haven't used them.
