driver update
Hardware compatibility refresh
A driver update is a newer version of software that controls how a computer communicates with hardware components like printers, graphics cards, or network adapters.
Installing driver updates can fix bugs, improve performance, or add compatibility with new operating systems: The graphics glitches stopped after I ran the driver update.
Tech support often recommends checking for driver updates as a first troubleshooting step.
