DSA keeps scanning and the dots on the sys tray bar are gone

[drezprime]

This has been going on since november,

I'm aggravated since i had to use driver booster pro to update my intel drivers.

DSA scans FOREVER and the green/amber dots telling you you're up to date or have updates don't show up on the systray icon.  I've uninstalled, cleared registery, rebooted, reinstalled and had the same results,  I have a MSI X299 board with a7800X cpu and 64GB of ram and all the integrated parts.  I started noticing this when your download site went down, so obviously you didnt put all the downloads back.

Either fix this or tell people the autoupdater only works for NEW hardware because your solutions dont work.  It's like you had a intern wipe all the downloads out then try and restore them with failure

I hear your complaints about IDSA.  But, "driver booster pro"?  Big mistake.

Using any 3rd party driver tool is a mistake, as you never know what the utility uploads from your machine, or what payload it downloads.

I use Windows 10 Pro 20H2.  I have tested the driver update capability of Windows Update quite a bit.  Yes, it needs some improvements, but it works quite well, and only lags a bit behind actual driver availability.  Plus, it handles all machines and manufacturers, and many more drivers than IDSA does, without an exclusion list.

You would be wise to stop using these 3rd party tools.
