How the hell do they will work? What do they do? Why do I need to update them for certain games or applications to work? I like to think I know a decent amount about personal computers but I have no idea. There was a game on my computer that wouldn’t play when I opened it and the game would crash every time. I updated my drivers and it ran with no issue. The game never had any updates and I never changed any parts of my computer why did the game randomly stop working with no changes? Why does updating drivers work to fix it and what do they do?

A driver tells the operating system how to use hardware.
In school, as a kid, you needed to learn how to write. The teacher didn’t just hand you a pencil, and you could write an essay. You had to be taught how to do it. That’s what the driver is, instructions on how to do its job.
Keeping the driver up to date is just like any other piece of software. It fixes bugs and makes it work better.
