Driver Updater with support for backup, restore, uninstall and reinstall, wrapped in an intuitive interface with approachable options.



Driver Talent is an application that automatically identities all drivers, finds the most recent updates online and offers to bring them to the latest versions in order to keep your computer optimal.



Setup and interface

The setup operation is speedy. However, although this isn't mentioned, the utility get's integrated into the Windows startup sequence to run every time you turn on the computer. This option can be disabled from the settings panel.



Driver Talent is wrapped in a pleasant and intuitive interface where all main components are neatly organized in different area's.



Scan, download and install drivers

It auto-detects your Windows edition at startup and asks for permission to scan all installed drivers in order to display the outdated ones. They can be filterted by status (stable or latest). The date, version and size of the latest drivers are shown and if there are multiple versions available online, you can pick the preferred one.



The program can be instructed to auto-download and run the installer for selected drivers or it can just download the latest edition to the computer, so you can take over the installation procedure from there.



Reinstall, uninstall, backup and restore drivers

Driver Talent features extra tools. For instance, you can reinstall, uninstall, backup and restorte drivers. It's also possible to examine all peripheral drivers, along with hardware information, such as the processor, clock, cache, number of cores, installation and boot times, CPU, memory, disk, display adapter, motherboard and monitor. This data can be exported to plain text document.



Customize application preferences

By default, it get's minimized to the systray on close and created backups automatically before installing or uninstalling drivers, but these options can be disabled. As for other settings, you can enable auto-scan at program startup, modify the default download and backup folders as well as change the proxy configuration and limit the download speed.



Additional options are available in the pro version, which gives you the possibility to remove leftover and corrupt driver files after uninstallation and to add network printers.



I have tested Driver Talent, formertly known as "DriveTheLife" and found it to be an excellent tool to scan for, download, and install driver updates for devices and hardware connected to Windows machines. The free version limits the display to stable drivers only which Pro users may switch to display the "latest driver" for each device which adds beta and release candidate drivers to the listing.



The experience was positive during tests, as it identified updates correctly for components installed on a test machine.
