How to run DriverScan
Windows 10/11. Keep internet on so Windows Update and vendor tools can download packages.
Step 01
Download the EXE
Get DriverScanInit.exe from the homepage (v1.2.0).
Step 02
Open the desktop UI
Double-click DriverScanInit.exe — it opens a window (no terminal). Use Run as Administrator, or the in-app elevate button, before initiate/update.
Step 03
Update everything
Click Update all in the app, or run DriverScanInit.exe --update for Windows Update plus OEM/GPU vendors.
Step 04
Reboot if prompted
Chipset, BIOS, and GPU packages often need a restart before they finish loading.
