Thread: Windows Update Suggests Out of Date Drivers
Started 1 month, 3 weeks ago by MikeCompton
Windows Update suggested I update my Realtek NIC driver and as i had had problems with it, i installed the driver. However, the driver was a version from 2007 and the original was from 2008.  It also did not work at all - "The device could not start" device manager told me. How do I escalate this to MS or are they not bothered?
