Where Does Windows Store Driver Files
I've been trying to update a device driver on my Windows computer, but I can't seem to find the driver file anywhere. I've already checked the manufacturer's website, but they only provide an automatic installation tool which isn't working for me. I've also tried searching through the Windows Device Manager and the "update driver" option, but it just says that I already have the latest driver installed. So, my question is, where does Windows store the driver files on my computer? And is there a way I can manually download the driver file from a trusted source? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
