Windows 7 Search for Updates ALWAYS FAILS

zlloyd1 · Oct 25, 2015

I recently did a full reinstall of Windows 7 Home Premium on my PC desktop, and now I going through the endless process of trying to get all of my drivers back working.... :no:

I was under the impression that Windows would assist in this process, but I was sorely mistaken as every time I have allowed Windows to search for drivers it has taken FOREVER, just to come back with an error message. :kaola:

I am disturbed by this as these errors seem to be contradictory in that they say Device Working Properly, right after saying Drivers Not Found?? :??:

How can the device be working properly if there were no drivers found??
This has me confused and angry truthfully, and I would appreciate some explanation Please!!

Windows has some general drivers for certain hardware already built into the OS. When the OS detects a new piece of hardware it will search the repository of drivers in the OS for a generic driver to get eh device working, although it could be in a limited fashion.

For drivers go directly to the hardware makers web site and search for the proper drivers there. I have never had windows search for a driver actually work.

go to your motherboards manufacturers site and download the drivers. for oem pcs I usually use slimdrivers, its free and usually works pretty well finding all your chipsetd rivers ,gpu drivers ,etc.
