Yes, Windows includes a tool to verify drivers.
Check if all your drivers are current. Estimate how many online utilities exist—perhaps hardware info provides a resource. See if Windows includes one built-in. If not, consider Microsoft’s role in encouraging updates. Options include guiding users via Windows or directing them to driver sources. It would be helpful.
Windows update will refresh drives and works fairly well. It doesn’t always have the latest drivers, since it relies on WHQL versions.
Drivers for your gadgets are listed on each device's manufacturer support site. Your motherboard's support section also contains drivers for all connected devices. Most updates handle this automatically, but I recently needed to verify I had the latest Realtek audio software—checked the motherboard's support page and found a newer release.
