What Slim Drivers? Meet functions and see if it is good for your PC | Drivers

Slim Drivers is a free software for Windows that tracks all the drivers on your computer and tells you which ones are out of date. In addition, the program downloads the latest software, although it does not do it automatically in the free version. Despite the polluted and visually outdated interface for current trends in software design, the utility does its job well.

The program also promises to improve the functioning of the PC by uninstalling drivers that are having problems. Another interesting feature is the option to perform a backup to restore functions, something important to start possible updates.

Restoring defective drivers

If any driver is not working well even after one of these updates, the best solution is to do a restore, going back to the previous version. To do this, click on "Restore", and then on the "Restore from" button. Then, just choose the backup file that was previously saved.
