Reinstalling Windows or chasing a device that stopped working? Driver Genius Professional keeps driver maintenance in one place: it scans for outdated or missing drivers and includes backup, restore, cleanup, and hardware-monitoring tools.
Scan for missing and outdated drivers
Driver Genius checks the PC for drivers that are missing or out of date, then presents available updates for hardware such as sound and graphics cards, network adapters, and motherboards. The scan gives users a single place to identify driver issues and select updates to apply.
Back up drivers for a reinstall
Save installed drivers before changing hardware or reinstalling Windows. Driver Genius can restore a saved set later, or turn the backup into a standalone installer for installing drivers on a rebuilt system.
- Create a backup of existing drivers.
- Restore drivers from a saved backup.
- Package drivers as a standalone installer.
Remove obsolete driver data
Driver cleanup targets invalid or outdated drivers and hardware configuration data left behind after driver updates or hardware replacements.
Troubleshoot devices and watch temperatures
The toolbox includes fixes for display, sound, and network problems, plus an option for updating drivers when the PC is offline. Hardware information and live temperature readings cover the CPU, GPU, and hard drive; alerts can warn when a component gets too hot.
