What to do after the official release of Windows 10 Spring Creators Update?

As soon as Microsoft rolls out the final version of Windows 10 Spring Creators Update, feel free to install it through Windows Update or by using Update Assistant. After doing that, check if you are using the latest driver software for your devices. If it is not so, make sure to update your drivers to prevent compatibility issues, errors, and crashes.

For this reason, you can use the built-in Device Manager tool:

  1. Press the Windows logo + X shortcut on your keyboard.
  2. Select Device Manager from the list and click on it.
  3. You will see a list of your hardware.
  4. Locate the device which driver you wish to update.
  5. Right-click on it and choose to update its driver software.
  6. Let your system search for the updates online.

After updating your OS, make sure to update your drivers.

As you can imagine, locating which drivers are outdated is tricky. You can update all of them one by one, but it is ridiculously time-consuming. And on top of that, Device Manager may fail to find the versions needed.

In a situation like this, you can try to update your drivers manually. This path is not an easy one though: you should figure out which drivers are out of date and browse for the new software yourself. Be careful not to install the wrong driver for a device: this may cause your hardware to malfunction or become totally unresponsive.

With that said, we suggest that you use a special tool. For example, with Auslogics Driver Updater, you can update all your drivers to their manufacturer-recommended versions by clicking on just one button.

Update all your drivers to make your hardware work properly.
