Fixato finds the drivers that are actually failing — not just "outdated" — and updates the right ones through Windows Update: signed packages only, behind a restore point.
Driver "updater" tools love to flag everything as out of date to look busy. Fixato does the opposite: it flags only the drivers genuinely causing problems, and leaves the working ones alone.
It reads device error states and driver versions, then installs only what Windows Update offers and its own local check confirms is genuinely newer. A restore point is created before the install — that's the way back if a new driver misbehaves.
Fixato reports the devices genuinely in an error state — and leaves the rest alone, because a working driver doesn't need touching.
Read-only. Fixato separates real failures from cosmetic "newer version available" noise.
Hardware Windows reports as malfunctioning — the drivers that are actually worth fixing.
Named toollist_driver_problems
The installed driver for each device, and whether Windows Update genuinely has a newer one — checked against what you already have, so a "newer" version that isn't newer gets dropped.
Named toolslist_driverscheck_driver_updates
Whether a driver is properly signed — unsigned drivers are a stability and security risk.
Named toollist_drivers
Each name above is one of Fixato's named tools. The agent picks from that closed list — it can't type a command of its own. The complete list is published with the licence.
A restore point before the update, your confirmation, and only the packages Windows Update signs and Fixato's own check marks as genuinely newer. If a new driver misbehaves, that restore point is the way back.
Installs the signed driver Windows Update offers for a device that's actually in error — never a downgrade, never a generic driver in place of your manufacturer's.
Named toolupdate_drivers
When a fresh driver update caused the problem, restores the previous version — the Device Manager "Roll Back" gesture. It refuses honestly when no earlier version is kept on your machine, and tells you Windows Update may re-offer the newer one.
Named toolrollback_driver
When Windows Update doesn't carry the driver — often the case for graphics cards — Fixato opens the manufacturer's own driver page for your exact model. You do the install; it doesn't download or run anything for you.

Diagnosis is read-only. Every change needs your explicit confirmation and is logged on your machine; system repairs are preceded by a restore point — or they're blocked. See security & safety.
