Separate drivers from what? All the drivers installed on a Windows system is for Windows itself; they aren't used directly by applications.
There are a number of ways to keep a Windows installation running properly. One of the most important is to make sure that the computer has updated Windows drivers. Drivers are basically very small configuration files that tell a computer how to deal with certain pieces of hardware. On a standard Windows computer, every piece of hardware will have its own driver, although some hardware may share the same Windows drivers. When a computer is operating properly, the Windows drivers work to allow programs to use the hardware to the fullest extent possible. Many computer users are aware of drivers for video and audio cards because these drivers need to be updated regularly in order to allow for the best processing power and the best possible graphics and sound quality. However, drivers are also necessary for computer printers, USB devices, and anything else that is installed on a Windows computer. Keeping the drivers updated is a fairly simple process. Windows Update will search for some drivers on a regular basis, particularly in newer operating systems like Windows 7 and Windows Vista. In older operating systems, some drivers may need to be manually checked or third party software can be used to check whether the most current versions of the Windows drivers are installed. To manually check whether new drivers are installed, a computer user must visit the website of the hardware manufacturer. For instance, if the computer user had a Sound Blaster sound card, he or she would have to visit Creative Labs website and search for the most up to date driver. Most Windows drivers can be installed and updated via simple executable files. In many cases, a computer will need to be restarted immediately after driver installation. This is to allow the computer to reload the newest version of the drivers. Switching while the computer is still running isn’t possible with many hardware as computer programs may be accessing the hardware, preventing any sort of switch. Regularly updating the Windows drivers on a computer is a good way to keep hardware working at its best possible output. It’s also a great way to keep a computer operating with stability.
