One does not need to update any device drivers unless there is an issued with a device.
Then one needs to go to the OEM of said device and get the current driver for that device.

There is NO good free or paid driver update program.

I recommend not using a driver updater at all. You don't really need one.

Thank you so much sir. But i have one doubt. may i ask it? i have been using IOBit driver booster for more than five years. It showing often some drivers update is available. so i will allow it to install new driver. But this software is having ads ware. Because it showing me to purchase some of its products and another ads in it. so don't like it. My question is if driver update is not necessary why this kind of software showing new driver update is available and to update purchase full version. Why it urges the user to purchase it?

They want to make money, of course. So they tell you that you need to know if an update is available. But in fact, if a driver works OK there is seldom any need to update it.
Best wishes,
Hans
