In computing, drivers are computer programs that operate or control a particular type of device that is attached to a computer, like video cards, monitors, printers, etc. Your Epson printer won't operate again these days? Well, the best way for you to avoid this problem is to regularly update the printer driver on your PC. Here I'm going to introduce several methods to you to update your drivers.

Updating Your Drivers in the Microsoft Way

You can check Windows Update at any time to see if it found new drivers and icons for your hardware, especially if you recently installed a new device. If you want to have Windows Update automatically check for the latest drivers and icons, here's how:

Step 1

Open Devices and Printers by clicking the "Start" button, and then, on the Start menu, clicking "Devices and Printers".

Step 2

Right-click the name of your computer, and then click "Device installation settings".

Step 3

Click "Yes, do this automatically (recommended)", and then click "Save changes". If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
If "Yes" is already selected, click "Cancel" to close the dialog box.
