Free PC driver check

See which devices on your Windows PC have a driver problem, and where to get the official fix. There is nothing to install and no account, and what you paste stays in this page.

Step 1: Run this command

Right-click Start and open Terminal or PowerShell. Paste this and press Enter. You don't need administrator rights. The result is copied for you.

$s=Get-CimInstance Win32_ComputerSystem;$o=Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem;[ordered]@{tool='softnest-driver-check-1';maker=$s.Manufacturer;model=$s.Model;windows=$o.Caption;problems=@(Get-CimInstance Win32_PnPEntity|?{$_.ConfigManagerErrorCode -notin 0,22,24,45 -or $_.Name -match 'Basic Display'}|%{[ordered]@{name=$_.Name;maker=$_.Manufacturer;code=[int]$_.ConfigManagerErrorCode;hw=([regex]'(?i)(PCI\\VEN_|USB\\VID_)[0-9A-F]{4}').Match(($_.HardwareID -join ' ')).Value}});drivers=@(Get-CimInstance Win32_PnPSignedDriver|?{$_.DeviceName -and $_.DriverProviderName -and $_.DriverProviderName -ne 'Microsoft'}|%{[ordered]@{name=$_.DeviceName;maker=$_.DriverProviderName;version=$_.DriverVersion;date=if($_.DriverDate){$_.DriverDate.ToString('yyyy-MM-dd')};signed=$_.IsSigned}})}|ConvertTo-Json -Depth 4 -Compress|Set-Clipboard;'Done. Go back to the SoftNest page and paste.'

What does this command do?

It asks Windows for your PC's maker and model, your Windows version, devices with a problem, and drivers not supplied by Microsoft.
It doesn't install, change or delete anything, and it doesn't connect to the internet.
It leaves out your computer name, user name and serial numbers.
It copies the result to your clipboard, replacing whatever you copied before.

Step 2: Paste the result here

The check runs in your browser and the result isn't sent to SoftNest or anyone else. This page has no adverts or outside scripts.

What this check can't do

It can't tell you if a newer driver exists, because that depends on the exact model. The official pages can.
It only shows what Windows reports. A device can still have a fault that Windows doesn't detect.
It doesn't look for viruses, and it can't update drivers for you.

Be careful with any website that asks you to run a command. Read what it does first, as you can here. See official driver pages.
