Whenever I ask on a big forum like Bleepingcomputers, TomsHardware or many others I am always told to never use Automatic driver updaters.
CCleaner is telling me I have to update specific intel drivers. However, I have a program from my manufacture(HP; Hewlt Pack), I have windows option to download optional updates and most importantly, I have an updater from the company CCleaner is suggesting are outdated. I am using INTELS Updater - it says nothing needs changed.
CCleaner is also telling me the same thing about my NVIDIA drivers. But, I have windows, my HP updater and an updater from NVIDIA. ALL say that CCleaner is lying, wrong or not functional as all my drivers are updated.
Can someone tell me as technical as possible why this happens? Then tell me in a way a regular human can understand it? I do not think CCleaner is intentionally lying to bait customers to use their product. Though everyone on the big public facing tech support forums seem to say these programs are not useful or outright scams.
I like CCleaner I am interested in understanding what is going on. This always happens with 3rd party driver updaters. They suggest drivers for products which are not theirs are outdated. Then when I install driver updaters from the correct company (HP, Intel or NVIDIA) they say in absolute terms I do NOT need updates. So, for me, on my PC - for many years someone is "lying" or wrong.
