Downloads drivers directly through the program. Can identify unknown hardware.
Option to ensure only signed drivers are installed. Can create a backup of all your drivers.
Setup doesn't install unnecessary programs. What We Don't Like Can't download more than two drivers per day. Can't download more than 10 drivers per month.

More About DriverMax
DriverMax does a lot of its work automatically and supports every recent version of Windows: Finds driver updates for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP, including all Windows Server editions
DriverMax can bet set to check for updated drivers any time of day every day, week, or month
After a scan is run, DriverMax lists not only the outdated drivers but also the ones that are already fully up to date
Device drivers can be backed up and restored, as well as rolled back to a previous version
Thoughts on DriverMax
Some driver update tools are very simple (in a bad way), making you crawl through a website to find a download link, and then force you to unzip the download yourself and then manually perform the install. Others driver updater tools provide more advanced features like driver backups, automated installs, internal downloads, and System Restore options.

Fortunately, we see some of these features with DriverMax as well. Again, an obvious disadvantage with DriverMax is the limitation it sets on how many drivers you can download on a daily and monthly basis. Normally, however, you probably don't have too many devices that need updated at the same time, so spanning this across several days probably isn't really a huge concern for most people.
