Device Doctor is a freeware/donationware Windows application that scans your computer hardware and checks to see if there are new driver updates available for your devices. It also locates drivers for “unidentified devices” in the Windows Device Manager. Device Doctor queries their own manufacturer driver database and immediately fetches the correct driver files for your computer.

Device Doctor version 1.0 is now available, download the free driver updater (4.6 MB)

Features:

  • More than 3 terabytes (3,000 GB) of drivers currently in the database
  • We cache all drivers so downloads are quick and work every time
  • Fast hardware scan takes mere seconds

Consistent Updating

  • Constantly updated to include new driver versions as soon as released
