Foxerly Driver Updater
Keep every driver on your PC up to date
Drivers let Windows talk to your graphics card, network adapter, sound chip and everything plugged into your PC. Foxerly Driver Updater finds the ones that are outdated or missing, explains each one in plain words, and updates them with a restore point taken first.
- Restore point first
- Plain-word explanations
- Windows 11 and 10
What Foxerly Driver Updater does
Explained in plain words
Each driver comes with a short description of what it controls, so you know what you are updating and why.
Restore point first
A Windows restore point is created before any update, so a driver that causes trouble is easy to undo.
Backup and rollback
Your current drivers are backed up before they are replaced, and any of them can be put back later.
Scheduled scans
Check for new drivers automatically, daily or weekly, and get told when an update is ready.
Keep your apps up to date too
Premium also finds outdated programs, such as browsers and media players, and updates them in the same place.

When updating drivers helps
A driver that works does not always need changing. These are the times an update is worth it.
No sound, no Wi-Fi, no display
A device that stopped working, or never worked after a Windows reinstall, often just needs the right driver.
Gaming
New graphics drivers often add support and fixes for recently released games.
After a Windows upgrade
Older drivers may not suit a new version of Windows. Updating them avoids crashes and glitches.
New hardware
Printers, controllers, docks and other devices work best with their current drivers.
Windows Update and drivers
Windows Update installs many drivers automatically, but it tends to offer a tested, general version rather than the latest one from the hardware manufacturer. For most devices that is fine. For graphics cards, network adapters and newer hardware, the manufacturer’s current driver often includes fixes and support that the Windows Update version does not have yet.
Foxerly Driver Updater compares what is installed with what is available and shows you the difference, with the date and version of each driver. You decide what to update.
A good rule: if everything works, you do not need to update every driver the day a new one appears. Update when something is not working, when you need a fix or feature, or on a regular schedule.
