Whether you’ve just built a new PC, reinstalled Windows, or are simply ensuring everything is running smoothly, keeping your drivers up to date is essential. Outdated drivers can cause all kinds of issues, from performance drops to hardware not working right. Luckily, ASRock makes this easy with their App Shop + Live Update tool.

STEP TWO: OPEN APP SHOP AND SCAN FOR DRIVER UPDATES
Once installed, launch ASRock App Shop. You’ll see several tabs—what we care about is Live Update.

Click the “Live Update” tab at the top of the window.
Live Update will scan your system for applicable updates
When the scan finishes, you’ll see a list of available updates. Important: Not everything listed is a driver! Some items are utilities, demos, or other software you don’t need.

- DO NOT select anything labeled as a utility or unrelated software
- Select the "Update" button to begin the selected driver updates
