Is your PC running slowly? Do you hear no sound, see blurry screens, or face random crashes?
Most of the time, outdated or missing drivers can be the problem. Drivers are small programs that allow Windows to talk to the hardware, like your graphics card, sound card, or Wi-Fi adapter. When they get old or broke, the whole system suffers.
That’s where Driver Booster comes in. Made by IObit, it’s a trusted driver updater that finds and fixes driver problems with just one click. The latest version, Driver Booster 13, is faster, smarter, and supports more devices.

Useful Features You Should Know About
Driver Booster 13 has more tools beyond just updating drivers. Here’s how you can save a lot of time:
Fix Common PC Problems
In the Toolbox section, you’ll find tools like Fix No Sound (restores sound if audio stops working), Fix Bad Resolution (corrects display issues), Fix Network Failure (restores network connection if the internet is lost), and Fix Device Error (resolves device hardware errors). These tools diagnose and solve common PC issues quickly.
Backup Before You Update
Before updating, Driver Booster automatically saves copies of your existing drivers and creates a Windows restore point. If there’s any trouble with a new driver, you can easily use these backups or restore points to go back to your previous system state.
Auto-Update in the Background
You can set Driver Booster to scan for driver updates when your PC starts or to update drivers automatically, even when your computer isn’t in use. Enable this by going to Settings and turning on Auto-update. This helps keep your system up to date without manual work.
Update Without Internet
If your PC doesn’t have an internet connection, use the Offline Driver Updater feature. This lets you download drivers on another PC and transfer them to the target computer, allowing you to install important drivers without any network connection, which is helpful for new Windows installations.
Boost Your Gaming Performance
Driver Booster manages essential game drivers such as DirectX (for graphics), Visual C++ (for game components), and PhysX (for physics effects). The Game Boost feature temporarily shuts down unnecessary background tasks and frees up memory, aiming for up to 5% better game performance by ensuring more system resources go toward gaming.
Is Driver Booster Safe to Use?
Yes. All drivers in Driver Booster come from official manufacturer sites or Windows. They pass WHQL certification, the industry safety check. IObit also reviews each driver, so you never get risky drivers.
