SlimDrivers Editor's Review

It is not always the lack of latest hardware components that can cause your PC to run slowly. The lack of updated drivers for existing components like motherboard, GPU can also be the culprit. While advanced users can check for backdated drivers in their PCs, this can be tedious for less tech savvy people and they may also fear wrecking up the devices. You may pick from a lot of freeware and paid driver updating and checking utilities nowadays. If you want a capable and free app for such tasks, give SlimDrivers a try.

SlimDrivers supports PCs with Windows XP and later versions. The installation is simple but if you let the default process run, it will install third party apps like AVG's Secure Search and Security Toolbar. Selecting custom installation helps you evade installing those apps.

SlimDrivers has an intuitive and attractive UI. The menu choices are placed at upper part of the UI. The app checks for outdated drivers and OS updates. It also displays operating system details along with RAM and CPU usage statistics. In reality, the app does not always succeed in detecting Windows updates and outdated third party apps.

However, the app does find outdated drivers and also offers you a link to download latest versions easily. SlimDrivers enables users to uninstall drivers on their systems. Before a new version of driver is installed the app asks you to generate a restore point, which is really helpful. There is a scheduling option which, when activated checks for drivers updates at a certain interval. Unlike its commercial rivals, SlimDrivers runs one update at a time. However, this should not be much of a problem for general users.

Positive Points:
• Easy detection and updating of old drivers.
• Creates restore point before installing new drivers.
• Easy to use UI, freeware.
• Scan scheduling feature.

Negative Points:
• Does not always detect OS and software updates.
• Updates one driver at a time.
• Default installation bundles in third party apps.

Conclusion:
SlimDrivers is a free and capable driver update app that is aimed at home users. The app does the basic tasks well but does not offer many add-ons. Its interface is sleek and quite user friendly. The options to download latest driver and creation of restore point before updating drivers are commendable. However, it tries to pack in unrelated third party apps if you do not choose custom installation.
Rating: 3.5/5
