The Driver Updater is DANGEROUS to use. I did one update on a Venue 8 Pro tablet, several months ago. The BIOS update BRICKED it! It will never work again. It was old, not a big loss (I had just replaced the battery) but frustrating, nonetheless.
Today I did another driver update on my main CPU and the updater BROKE my USB serial ports that use the FTDI driver. Not happy! I had to delete the drivers for the affected ports and reboot the system. Windows loaded drivers that worked.
I've had it! I'm going to look for a more reliable, safer to use cleaner.
