General Information

What is a device driver?

A driver is a small but essential piece of software written for a specific operating system like Microsoft Windows 10. The operating system uses the driver to communicate with a hardware device such as a printer, video card, sound card, network adapters, etc. Microsoft Windows operating systems includes drivers for most devices, however, device-specific drivers may need to be downloaded and installed from the manufacturer's website.

Without drivers, the devices that you connect to your PC would not work properly. Manufacturers develop drivers so that the operating system on your CyberPower PC can work with your installed devices and applications.

Why do I have to update device drivers?

Manufacturers of components and accessories release updated device drivers frequently to ensure that component and accessory has the latest security patches, fixes, and functionality available.

When you update the device drivers, you are taking a preventive measure to protect your PC and make sure your hardware and devices work properly.

When do I update device drivers?

Device drivers should be updated when you have reinstalled the operating system using either CD, DVD or a USB key or when you are facing any issues like Wi-Fi or other network issues, video (GPU) issues or audio (sound) issues etc.

We also recommended that you install or update the device drivers if you have performed a complete re installation of windows or a restoration from a previous backup. This will ensure that you have the latest device drivers installed on your PC and ensure that the devices function optimally.

However, if your PC is working fine and the driver is not listed as an Urgent or Recommended download, there may be no reason to update. Updating drivers unnecessarily can and in some rare cases, create new problems. Review the criticality information listed on the driver download page for more information.

Installing or updating the device drivers may help with:

• Increased system performance
• Patch security risks
• Expanded compatibility
• To fix problems
• Include additional features

Where do I find drivers for my PC components and other connected devices?

CyberPower components and accessories have their own product support page where you will find available device drivers. You can find them all on the CyberPower Drivers & Downloads website. Since most components are not manufactured by CyberPower you will need to look for the device drivers on the manufacturer's website.
