Hi everyone. For a freshly installed Windows system, it's best to download the necessary drivers from the official manufacturer website. Installing each driver individually is recommended rather than relying on automatic updates. You can follow the installation instructions carefully and then proceed to restart the computer after all drivers are set up. This ensures everything works smoothly without unnecessary interruptions. Thank you!
It really doesn't matter; restarting won't cause any harm. You can find useful information on the site https://ninite.com/ which offers several drivers.
Installation issues may arise if multiple drivers are being installed simultaneously. Keep in mind to install one driver at a time instead of all at once. Stay patient—this is why Ninite.com works well, letting you configure the software and then leave it alone.
Start with LAN first. Once that's done, it doesn't matter much. If Win10 installs them for you, go for it. I often have 2-4 installers running together and boot up when Windows update is needed. If there are driver conflicts, they'll show you an error.
The recommendation addresses potential issues like errors or crashes, placing responsibility on the manufacturer. I've applied this approach during driver installations on both WinVista and Windows 7 multiple times. Additionally, would you typically close all programs during driver updates?
Certainly, your point holds some truth. While certain applications integrate smoothly and Windows can handle updates without requiring a reboot, it still can't install drivers when another program is active, especially if the update affects system settings.
