- Does an excellent job (without the bloatware Driver Booster includes), 5/5 for functionally, but for novice users I can see it be triggy to use - missing a Windows installer, and the user interface is not the greatest.
- the origin version is better version it seems this version seems less maintained, the packs in snappy origin are larger for the same devices than this samlab branch which is also supposedly suspect reddit.com/r/computertechs/comments/6d9wkn/snappy_driver_installer_origin_get_your_drivers/ reddit.com/r/computertechs/comments/5yag6y/adware_found_in_snappy_driver_installer/
- I do not understand 'spunkie's' comment below. A few weeks ago I downloaded the package and it successfully installed missing Texas Instruments mass storage drivers for MMC/SD card slots etc under Windows 8.1 on a 10 y/o Sony Vaio ultraportable which MS's install routine does not have. A better solution than trawling Sony forums etc. It also updated successfully other drivers on that and another more recent Vaio. I saw no advertisements and my pc has MVPS Hosts file plus I run peerblock with modern blocklist if in doubt.
