Windows Update installs the best drivers. However, they are not accurate every time. It is possible that a driver or OEM software is superior to what Microsoft can offer. If you receive Windows has determined that the best driver for this device is already installed When you try to update an old driver, here's how to replace it or work around it.
The best driver software is already installed
The good thing is that it is possible to bypass this action and install a driver that you think or OEM offers a better solution. But before you continue, here's what you should know. There may be several reasons why Windows does this. Driver Compatibility, Generic Driver and more.
Before you begin, make sure that the driver is available on your computer.
- Open Device Manager with the help of Win + X + M
- Locate the device, right-click it, and then click Update Driver.
- It will open an update prompt where you have two options
- Automatically search for the updated driver
- Browse my computer for the driver software.
- Select the second option, then you can browse the driver. There is an additional option that allows you to recover the drivers available on the computer, but do not use it later.
- Once the driver is selected, click and confirm the installation.
Windows will now use the driver you chose to select. You may receive a warning if there is a compatibility problem that you can work around if you wish.
Point: You can also uninstall the driver, and Search for material changes to start the process.
Make sure to create a restore point. The method allows you to replace the best driver software already installed on Windows 10.
Install unsigned drivers from Microsoft
If you have a driver that is not signed by Microsoft but you know it will work, you can install it. However, to install it, you must disable the implementation of the driver signature. There are three ways to do it:
- Use the advanced boot menu
- Enable test signature mode
- Disable the device driver signature.
Follow the message we linked above to install these drivers.
I hope it helps.
