Why are computer drivers so important to update?

222 views

I get it in the context of a very outdated one, but a driver from a month ago shouldn’t be leading to crashes, so why update?

It ends up feeling like the driver works fine till a new one comes out and it starts failing.

Drivers work with the OS at a pretty low level and OS changes can easily break them. Also people aren’t perfect. If it stops working right as the update came out and it’s only a month old, either the OS is changing or they introduced a bug in the last version.

Similar idea with things like common game engines and graphics cards, for example.
