The latest version of th e software

also silences notifications when it

detects that you are runninga full-

screen task or playing a game, to av oid

distracting you.

If you require more features, the

paid-for Pro version, which costs £18.61

a year for thre e PCs and includes a free

Tweaks ebook, now covers 3.5 million

drivers, including more rare,

mismatched and outdated ones, and

delivers faster scanning speeds.

Be sure to decline the bundled junk

for outdated or miss ing drivers, and
presents you with its findings. You can
then update indi vidual dr ivers, or the
whole lot, with a single click. The
proc ess is quick and painless and, unlike
some other programs, you don’t needto
upgrade to a paid-for version before
