Software vendor IOBit has released Driver Booster 7 last month. The new version comes with a much faster scanning engine and supports more device drivers and game components. Read on for more details. 🙂
The free driver updating tool for Windows now has a database of more than 3.5 million device drivers and game components. Some new game components such as Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 redistributable, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 and Java Runtime Environment 10 have been added in Driver Booster 7 to improve the gaming performance.
All of the supported drivers pass both Microsoft WHQL and IOBit tests which ensure you an accurate and secure driver update in your system.
The new edition also features a 100% much faster scanning engine (a steep improvement from the beta version), a new Auto Silent mode (to ensure Driver Booster doesn’t bug you with notifications while you are running other programs in full screen), as well as an optimized Game Boost which increases the boost speed by 15%.
Other than that, Driver Booster 7 helps to fix various Windows issues such as no sound problems, network failure, bad resolution, and device error (Pro only).
