How to get Windows 7 to automatically update hardware drivers

So far, Microsoft's latest desktop operating system, Windows 7, has been officially released for more than a year, and the author has changed its computer's operating system for the first time since it was released. After more than a year of use, I am more and more confident of the windows this time, because of its efficiency and gorgeous. I can responsibly say that Windows 7 is definitely the most gorgeous Windows system ever, but that's not the issue we're going to focus on today. So on the other hand, how efficient? We look at--windows Update from one of its core functions.

We know that computer is different from other electrical equipment, it is not a "dead" thing. What does that mean? Because it is flexible, it has strong scalability and variability, whether it is software or hardware. So this is special, especially if we're updating some parts of the hardware for the computer, the result is a very straightforward way to get a performance upgrade. But until then, accordingly, we must install their drivers for the newly added hardware device. Many people are very annoying about drivers, or they hate to install them. This is contradictory, but the Automatic Update feature of Windows 7 will completely make you beg for these annoying things.

Windows Update, I want to call it one of the greatest inventions of the 21st century. Yes, I do think so, but how many people in the world are using Windows? If everyone spends time and effort searching for and manually installing those damned drivers after installing a new video card or reinstalling the operating system for the laptop, it's only God knows how much time people on earth are wasting on these things every day. It's scary and disgusting, isn't it?

And now we're using Windows 7 without or with a little bit of rigor--hardly worrying about these things, and the system will be industrious enough to help us complete these mechanical tasks. It regularly searches for updates, downloads and installs them automatically every day, and the user needs to do is reboot your computer after the installation is complete. And when we put a new video card into the chassis, the system will find it, and immediately use and search system update the same way to search and download the graphics card driver, in this time, we can do something else.

What kind of process this thing is, maybe someone still has not used Windows 7, still reluctant to the old XP, then we need to demonstrate.

We chose a notebook that was sent by a manufacturer, formatted it so that it would not have any drivers, and then installed Windows 7 again, and after everything was done, we opened the Device Manager and looked at what was going on.

Let's see what this is, a bunch of fucking exclamation points, three devices are not recognized by the system, of course, because they lack the appropriate driver.

So, what do we do when we connect the cable? Go to the official website and download all the drivers to a local folder? Then click on the update driver on the three exclamation points and point the search path to this folder. Of course it's okay, but only a madman does that.

Below we do such a thing, we come to this path: Control Panel-> System with security.
