I downloaded driver booster 8 and had 20 drivers out of date, I restarted my laptop and its so slow. I tried doing a system restore but it didn't work. I even reset my laptop but it is still very slow. I really need help
Can you please please tell me what to do to make my laptop better. I honestly am lostIn future, don't use driver booster. Programs like that promise to make things easier but often install the wrong drivers. I learned that myself. Manually updating might be harder but tis safer.
a reset should have forced windows to get different drivers. Whether they are the newest is another story
Go to the support page for the laptop model, most laptop makers have auto update functions on website so if laptop is fairly new, it might get newer drivers there.
It is the lenovo legion y540 , core i5 9th genwhat make/model laptop is it?
What if this doesn't work?https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/au/en/...-y540-15irh/downloads/automatic-driver-update << go there and click start scan
I am now downloading a nvidia app update and a BIOS update, I will let you know how it goeswell, we can only try. if it doesn't speed you up, I will try again.
Well first (I'm not trying to sound obnoxious ) I tried a system restore on 3 differnt points and 5 times on each and it failed (possibly because of the drivers)I can't believe you would have 20 drivers on there, its not normal. I just reacting to what Driver Booster found. Its good at finding the wrong drivers, I have lost sound using it before. Shame you reset before coming here as though DB is bad, it creates a system restore point before installing any drivers so we could have rolled back to before it installed any.
Too late now as reset wiped that.
How do I fix my trackpad problem?Yes, system restore isn't ideal way to fix system but it sometimes helps. I don't bother with it and go to clean install now, its not really helped in the past. It does normally help with db installs though. Maybe I just been lucky and stopped using it before it bit me too hard.
Can you download and run Driverview - http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/driverview.html
All it does is looks at drivers installed; it won't install any
When you run it, go into view tab and set it to hide all Microsoft drivers, will make list shorter.
Now its up to you, you can look through the drivers and try to find old drivers, or you can take a screenshot from (and including)Driver name to (and including)Creation date.
upload it to an image sharing website and show link here
All I would do is look at driver versions (or dates if you lucky to have any) to see what might have newer versions.
How can I know its legit?If you download and run the program I linked, and show me a screenshot as asked, I will go see what drivers I can find.
I dont know how to send a screenshot on this website but i can show you on discord. <<Personal info removed>>Well, i wouldn't suggest it if it was. All it does is runs commands already built into windows but it displays them in a nicer fashion than if you were to run them in command prompt.
I can't see which driver would be the trackpad just looking at the lenova site so it might give me a clue. Its possible you are running a Microsoft driver in which case i won't see it on the list
what am i supposed to do now?you are using Synaptics SMBus Driver which is for trackpads
Driver version 19.5.10.20
that appears to be the latest version as per https://support.lenovo.com/sv/en/product_security/len-23156
You also have wacom tablet drivers
I was a bit worried about the clean boot so I isolated each startup program and it didn't change a thingI am not sure, you have the latest version.
its late now, i will see if i can figure anything out tomorrow.
I uninstalled both KEYBOARD device in device manager, and restart Windows.
Now my touchpad allready works.
