Norton updated my audio drivers and it did not permit me to use the computer mic for Zoom. So, I had to reset the computer, and it took a lot of time to get it right again. Once again Norton is wanting to update these same drivers, and I am concerned about doing it.

Hello Robert. DO NOT user Norton Driver updater for the very reason you are having this issue. Rely on Microsoft for Windows Updates and your OEM for drivers from their websites. I get driver and BIOS updates on my HP Windows 11 machines straight through Windows Update as well. Manufacturers work alongside MS to deliver drivers and other updates to their products to ensure to the greatest extent possible they work correctly.

Here are a few threads where others have issues with DU:

Norton Driver Updater just recommended me this, what's going on? Drivers released 1968!

Out -Dated Drivers

Sorry about the weird version number. I can’t find the page where I got that number. Norton also updated the version after I closed the scan page. I now have version 22.24.5.6 In addition to alerting me to 15 outdated drivers it also shows that I have 0 vulnerable apps. When I open the app and click on “Update” the computer tells me I’m using the best driver for that app!

Norton Driver Update giving wrong driver information

I have several Dell laptops, with Dell's update services.  Norton Driver Updater keeps listing  a bunch of drivers as out of date, but when I check the Dell details and the different company website for listed drivers it says I have the most current.  I am sticking with the Dell details since I don't want to foul up a good system!

MikeinSpain: My Sgin computer is only months old and has had little use. Norton told me I had a few dozen drivers that needed updating so I fell for their lies and bought Driver Updater and a scan showed NO DRIVERS NEEDED UPDATING. So I uninstalled it and demanded my money back. Then just days later I get a message that there are 23 drivers that need updating. Norton are a bunch of lying thieves.  Norton marketing pop-ups:  Did you try Special Offer Notification Off? Did you try Auto Sm…
