UCheck version 6.3.4.0 has been released, allowing users to check for outdated applications, hardware, and system drivers on their computers. The tool is user-friendly; users simply need to click 'start' and it will scan for installed programs, their update status, and driver updates. Additionally, UCheck offers an optional software package that lists popular programs, although this feature is part of a freemium model.
While UCheck successfully identified outdated software, it struggled with driver updates. For instance, it suggested installing the Intel Watchdog Timer and NVIDIA drivers but provided little context about these drivers. This raises concerns as the NVIDIA drivers were incorrectly listed at the time of the review, suggesting that UCheck may rely on Windows Update for driver information, which is often not reliable and typically avoided by more advanced users.
Moreover, many basic features, including the option to start the application with Windows, are locked behind a paywall, which limits the app's functionality. The only customizable option available to free users is changing the language. Despite these shortcomings, it's worth noting that UCheck successfully detected all outdated programs and even recommended manually downloading CCleaner.
Adlice, the developer of UCheck, has a history of producing useful applications, so there is potential for improvement in future updates. Users may want to keep an eye on UCheck's development to see if driver detection and overall functionality improve over time.
For those looking to manage drivers more effectively, resources on downloading the latest drivers, backing up and restoring drivers, and troubleshooting driver-related issues on Windows 10 and 11 are readily available
