driver updates

Hardware compatibility fixes

Driver updates are newer versions of software that controls how a computer communicates with its hardware components—graphics cards, printers, network adapters.

Operating systems periodically prompt users to install driver updates, which may fix bugs, improve performance, or add features.

My webcam stopped working until I installed the latest driver updates.
