Drivers guide
Install the drivers that match your hardware. Follow this guide if you selected manual driver installation during setup.
Benefits of manual installation
Manual installation gives you:
- Full control over driver versions
- Potentially lower system resource usage
- Fewer potentially unwanted applications
Switch to automatic installation
Open C:\Windows\AtlasDesktop then 2. Drivers then Drivers from Windows Update and run Enable Drivers from Windows Update.reg. Restart afterward so Windows can apply the driver policy.
Which drivers do I need?
Install only the drivers for hardware in your system:
- Graphics (GPU/iGPU) – Display output and gaming
- Audio – Sound from speakers or headphones
- Wi-Fi/Network – Internet connectivity
- Bluetooth – Wireless peripherals (only if you use them)
- Chipset – System stability and performance
Multiple Graphics Cards
If you have both integrated and dedicated graphics (e.g., Intel CPU with NVIDIA GPU), install drivers for both so you can switch between GPUs.
Tip
Install drivers in this order: graphics → network → audio → chipset → other devices. This restores display and internet support first.
