Is your PC’s display showing errors out of nowhere? While it may seem like a hardware error when your screen starts flickering and does not load the graphics as expected, users often forget about one of the key factors responsible: Graphics Drivers.
A driver’s job is to create seamless communication between the connected hardware and the PC kernel. If this connection is improper or fails, issues can appear. Hence, if you are using a graphics card on your PC and facing display issues, your PC will likely use an outdated graphics driver.
One of the main reasons this issue keeps appearing is that users are unfamiliar with updating these drivers. If you, too, find the graphics driver outdated, do not worry; in this post, we will explain how to update the display driver on Windows.

When you use an outdated driver, the hardware definition cannot comply with your PC’s requirements. Think of it this way: if you use a high-speed USB 3.1 port with a USB 2.0 cable, the compatibility is nowhere close to what you might expect from the latest technology.
Similarly, when you have suitable GPU hardware, but the driver being used with it is not up to the mark, it is impossible to yield the best performance. Hence, you are always stuck with mediocre graphics, which often cause common issues such as –
- Laggy videos
- Screen flickering
- Drop in FPS
- Screen blacking out
- Not loading games
The list is long. However, you can avoid all these issues by updating the drivers. How? Let’s find out in the next section.
Graphics drivers for any device can be updated in two ways: manual and automatic. The former is time-consuming and requires patience and some technical knowledge, while the latter is easy, quick, and effective. Let’s examine each method and find out which is more suitable for you.
