Windows driver management and maintenance software
Driver Genius 25, developed by Driver-Soft, is a Windows application designed to scan for, update, and manage device drivers. It supports Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit and 64-bit versions). The software is intended to help users maintain driver stability and handle related system maintenance tasks within a single interface.
The program includes one-click driver updates as well as selective update options. In addition to driver updating, it offers backup and restore functionality, allowing users to save and recover installed drivers when needed. A driver cleanup tool is also included to remove invalid driver packages and help free up disk space.
Driver Genius scans the system to detect outdated drivers. The scan results are presented in an organized format, allowing users to review the status of detected drivers before proceeding. Driver updates can be initiated using the one-click update feature, and users can choose to update multiple drivers at once or manage updates individually. This approach provides flexibility while allowing users to maintain control over which drivers are installed.

Driver backup, recovery, and system maintenance tools
In addition to updating drivers, Driver Genius 25 includes Driver Backup & Restore, allowing users to save installed drivers and restore them when needed, particularly after reinstalling Windows. The software also features Driver Roll Back, which provides dual protection through the creation of a system restore point and the ability to revert to a previous driver version if compatibility issues arise.
For system maintenance, the program offers several cleanup utilities. Driver Cleanup removes invalid driver packages to help free up disk space, while Clean Invalid Device Data clears leftover hardware information from previously replaced devices. The System Cleanup feature is designed to free up additional disk space, especially when the system drive is running low.
Driver Genius 25 also includes support tools aimed at recovery and monitoring. The System Transfer Assistant helps restore network functionality after changing or reinstalling the operating system, and the Hardware Info feature allows users to view hardware details and monitor temperature and voltage in real time. Together, these tools extend the software’s functionality beyond driver updates into broader system maintenance and recovery support.
