Although this isn’t as good as using drivers from an OEM source, it’s at least something. In our research, we learned that minimal testing is required to receive Microsoft WHQL certification. On its website, the developer claims that the drivers have passed Microsoft WHQL tests and IOBit Review tests but doesn’t provide any context as to what those are. The only real downside to the program is it doesn’t guarantee its driver downloads to be from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). However, it fared much better than Advanced Driver Updater, which only found 48 drivers – a scant 32-percent success rate.

It was the best performing software in our tests, but 61 percent is still quite low, even considering the industry’s poor performance as a whole. Driver Booster’s scan found 91 of the 149 outdated drivers we installed on our test computer – a success rate of 61 percent.
