Enable comprehensive management of Windows device drivers through a single user interface. The app provides effortless installation/uninstallation, backup, restoration, and driver downloads. Ensure that your computer remains up-to-date by automatically identifying and installing the latest drivers.
Driver Fusion is a powerful and feature-rich driver management solution that manages to stand out from the crowd of numerous other similar driver maintenance tools. It achieves this by being truly reliable and accurate and providing handy additional features and functions. I wish I could say the same about its interface, but, as I said while reviewing its older versions, the interface is rather unintuitive and badly-structured, and unfortunately, things haven't changed yet.
Driver Fusion is a truly comprehensive tool as it lets you perform multiple driver maintenance operations such as scanning for missing and outdated ones and installing or updating them, backing up and restoring the drivers, uninstalling the no longer needed or problematic ones, fixing, etc.
Drivers are a very important part of any computer, therefore the effects that this tool usage can have on your computer are remarkable. By putting your drivers in top shape you ensure that your computer is running smoothly and dealing with less errors.
Unfortunately, many of the advanced features are only available in the paid, registered version. The free edition is much more lightweight in terms of provided functions and options.
Cutting long story short, Driver Fusion offers a lot of advantages yet it doesn't manage to be one of my favorite driver management tools. The interface is confusing, many of the cool features are available only in the paid version, and the latest version updates haven't brought any remarkable positive changes.
