Title: Auto Driver Installer: An Intelligent System for Automated Device Driver Management Abstract Device drivers are critical software components that enable operating systems to communicate with hardware peripherals. Manual driver installation is often time-consuming, error-prone, and requires technical expertise. This paper presents the design and implementation of an "Auto Driver Installer," an automated system that identifies unknown or outdated hardware drivers, fetches the correct versions from trusted repositories, and installs them without user intervention. The system leverages hardware identification (HWID) parsing, cloud-based driver databases, and silent installation techniques. Experimental results demonstrate a 90% reduction in driver setup time and a significant decrease in system instability caused by incorrect drivers. 1. Introduction Modern computing environments consist of diverse hardware components—graphics cards, network adapters, chipsets, and peripherals. Each requires a specific driver. Common problems include:

Time consumption: Searching for drivers on manufacturer websites. Compatibility issues: Installing incorrect driver versions. Security risks: Downloading drivers from untrusted third-party sites.

An Auto Driver Installer automates this lifecycle: detection → matching → download → verification → installation. 2. System Architecture 2.1 High-Level Overview The system consists of five modules: auto driver installer

2.2 Hardware Scanner

Uses Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) or SetupAPI (on Windows) / lspci and lsusb (on Linux). Extracts: You can use this as a basis for

Vendor ID (VID) & Device ID (DID) Subsystem IDs, Revision IDs Current driver version and date

2.3 Driver Matcher

Queries a local or cloud-based driver repository (e.g., Microsoft Update Catalog, custom DB). Matches via HWID strings (e.g., PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1C03 ). Resolves the latest stable version compatible with OS architecture (x64, ARM64). This paper presents the design and implementation of

2.4 Secure Downloader

Uses HTTPS with checksum verification (SHA-256). Supports resumable downloads and caching.
