OpenDriverUpdater scans your Windows hardware, finds official driver updates from trusted sources like Microsoft Catalog, and lets you install them safely — all without ads, bloat, or tracking.
Built to do one thing perfectly — keep your drivers updated safely.
Scans your entire system using WMI and PnP APIs. Identifies every device, extracts Hardware IDs, and maps installed driver versions — automatically.
Every driver candidate gets a trust score based on source authenticity, digital signature, OEM compatibility, and stability. No guesswork.
Queries Microsoft Update Catalog directly — the same source Windows Update uses. Official, signed, and vendor-approved drivers only.
Native WinUI 3 desktop app with a clean, dark-themed interface. NavigationView shell, device cards, update recommendations — polished and fast.
Other driver updaters ship with bundled software, upsells, and telemetry. OpenDriverUpdater ships with none. Your system, your data, your choice.
Every line of code is public. Every algorithm, every network request, every file operation — auditable by anyone, anytime.
Driver updaters touch sensitive system components. You deserve to know exactly what's running on your machine. The community verifies what marketing can't.
Closed-source driver tools are black boxes. Open source means vulnerabilities are found and fixed faster — by the same people who use the software.
MIT licensed. No premium tiers, no "pro" versions, no feature gates. The full application is free — today, tomorrow, always.
OpenDriverUpdater queries your system via WMI and PnP APIs to identify every connected device — GPUs, network adapters, audio controllers, and more.
Each device's Hardware ID is extracted and used to search official sources. No guessing, no generic drivers — precise matching to your exact hardware.
Microsoft Update Catalog is queried first, followed by Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA official sources. Every candidate is scored for trust and compatibility.
Review recommendations, download selected drivers, and install via pnputil — the same tool Windows uses internally. You approve every action.
OpenDriverUpdater never installs anything without your explicit approval. Every driver goes through a multi-layer trust evaluation before it's even recommended.
Same Core engine, terminal interface. Perfect for scripting, automation, and headless environments.
scan, list-devices, check-updates, download, install, export-json — everything you need from the command line.
Pipe outputs, chain commands, integrate into CI/CD or system provisioning scripts. Exit codes and JSON output included.
Export full scan results as structured JSON. Debug hardware matching, review trust scores, and analyze driver metadata.
