Firstly - You appear to be misunderstanding what a Driver is.
Drivers are for the physical hardware that is fitted in, or attached to, your device, the CPU chip, graphics chips/boards, wifi chip, Bluetooth chip, disc drives, printers, scanners, etc.
The Drivers tell each hardware component how it should function and how to communicate with the other hardware components.
Drivers are not (generally) for any software that you have installed.
(I say generally because there are a few exceptions to that).
You should be very careful about updating any drivers.
Just because an updater tool (any updater tool) has found a ‘newer’ version of a particular driver that does not mean that ‘newer’ vesrsion is meant for your hardware, or is even compatible with your hardware.
At the very worst installing a ‘newer’ driver that is not meant for your hardware can stop your device working properly, you only have to read some of the threads here to see cases where that has happened.
Ideally you should check the manufacturers website to make sure the ‘newer’ version of the driver is compatible with your hardware.
So with that warning in mind:
In the Updater tool you can expand the categories and click ‘Details’ to get more information:
In the details you can ‘Update’, ‘Skip this Version’, or ‘Pause Updates’.
If you ‘Pause Updates’ then it will stop offering you any further updates for that particular driver:
PS. You may notice from those screenshots that CCleaner says that I have 12 drivers on this machine that have ‘newer’ versions available…
I will not be updating them - my machine is working fine with the drivers that it is already using. (I work on the principle of “If it ain’t broke then don’t try to fix it”).
If you are having problems with something hardware related and think that updating it’s driver may help then proceed carefully, only update one driver at once and then use your machine for a while to see if anything has improved or deteriorated.
Again ideally you should check with the driver developers website first to check that the new version you are being offered is suitable/compatible with your particular hardware. (eg, for Intel drivers you would check at Intel).
If you do mess something up as a result of using CCleaners’ Driver Updater tool then the ‘+ Fix a problem’ button can help you trying to put things back as they were.
