You can update your drivers automatically with either the FREE or the Pro version of Driver Easy. But with the Pro version it takes just 2 clicks (and you get full support and a 30-day money back guarantee):
Run Driver Easy and click the Scan Now button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.

Method 5: Reset or reinstall Windows
If all else fails, you may have to reset Windows, or maybe even reinstall it together.

However, with Reimage, there’s no need for lengthy back-ups, support phone calls, or risk to your personal data. Reimage can reset Windows to the state exactly when it was just installed without affecting third-party software. Here’s how to use it:
2) Open Reimage and run a free scan. This may take a few minutes.
3) You’ll see the summary of detected issues on your PC. Click START REPAIR and all the issues will be fixed automatically. (You’ll need to purchase the full version. It comes with a 60-day Money-Back Guarantee so you can refund anytime if Reimage doesn’t fix your problem).
Note: If you need any assistance, click the question mark on the upper-right corner of the software.
But treat these options as a last resort, because they both take quite a long time.
