Developed by IObit, Driver Booster Free is a tool that you can utilise to update old drivers, fix lags, and enhance gaming performance. Old and outdated drivers often slow down the computer and create unnecessary issues when running different applications and hardware components. Once you update the driver, the print command will get accepted, and you’ll get a hardcopy in your hand. The reason behind this is a missing driver, which you must install from a CD or the manufacturers’ website. For instance, if you plug a new printer into your PC and send a print command, the printer may not work. Without drivers, your computer’s software won’t be able to interact with the hardware installed on your computer. All you need to do is select the drivers you want to update and let the program do its work. Clicking on this option helps you access a list of drivers that may be old or outdated. Designed for Windows, the software is beginner-friendly and features a simple interface with a prominent scan button. One day I hope to be able to fully use the portable apps launcher and make my own apps, but until then.Driver Booster Free is a system utility tool that can help you update out-of-date and non-functioning drivers. Specific minor tweaks are ok but understanding where apps save settings, capturing them all then making apps right and remove these settings is something I'm not ready for yet.īut I give a +1 for this app to be made portable. This is where I get lost with when making apps portable, I'm not brave enough to go messing about with the registry too much.
There are certain things that cannot be made portable but Driver Booster isn't one of them them.ĭB is pretty much portable as it is, but uses the registry for settings it seems. I have everything possible made into a portable app to keep the system clean, avoid re-installation and so I know where everything is to do with each app. Portable apps only use resources when running, unless it's told to do otherwise for some reason dependant on the app. That's one of the bonuses of portable software that many users don't see. Admittedly it's only negligible, but add the other 20 or so negligible additions and you have a fair amount of resource hogging going on. One installation is all that's needed and it doesn't add to the bloating of system resources causing issues for those with less powerful systems. I help out several people with PC issues and constantly installing software is a pain in the ass! Having a portable version saves a lot of time and hassle.
Your idea of keeping the install file on a USB drive is fine, if you don't mind installing every time you want to use it on a different computer! For me the whole point of portable software is to stop the need to reinstall everything and set it up how I want on a fresh Winstall.
