Question
I would like a tool that helps manage drivers and not for just one type of hardware. Nvidia's program, for example, works fine, it prompts you, downloads and installs for you...for GPU drivers. I am looking for a program that can manage more:
Identify available bios updates
Windows updates
Hardware drivers (RAM, GPU, Sound etc)
Built in download and installation manager
An added bonus would be (This is likely completely unrealistic) a program that manages both hardware drivers and software patches.
Explanation / Answer
Secunia PSI
Dumo (Drivers Update Monitor; get the lite versions others are loaded with lame ware)
Sumo (Software Update Monitor; get the lite versions others are loaded with lame ware)
SlimDrivers (Make sure you uncheck MyBackup during install)
DriverUpdate (from company that does SlimDrivers) but it sometimes conflicts with windows update.
The only thing these programs don't offer is BIOS updating.
