New Beta version 20.2.921

Hello everyone,

New Beta version of Avast Driver Updater product is now available in Beta (20.2.921)!

What’s new in Avast Driver Updater product?

  • Over 7,000,000 drivers: We have a much larger database of drivers than in the previous version.
  • Windows System Restore Points are now automatically created with every updated driver.
  • Now you can restart just once for all your new updates (instead of a special restart for each new driver that asks for it).
  • Your first scan after restarting won’t change much, but your scans after this one will be much faster than before.
  • We cleaned up the update process to make it smoother and easier to navigate.
  • We fixed several errors reported by you, including the ‘this is embarrassing’ screen after updates and restarts.

How can you help?

Thanks Stellarman, got it via auto-update.

Hi, while testing the beta, I got 3 drivers that won’t update - no matter what.
While ADU says successful, they always show up again after a new ADU scan.
Let me know if you would want/need any logs… (Screenshots attached)

The update wipes out my Realtek sound drivers.
The only thing I’m left with are my USB devices.
