USB 2.0 drivers generally come (1) with your operating system, or (2) from the installation CD you received when you purchased your USB device or motherboard.
However, just like any software, USB 2.0 drivers are upgraded by their manufacturers to remove bugs, add extra functionality to the hardware or to improve the performance of the high speed USB hardware.
If you do not update your USB 2.0 drivers regularly, you will experience problems such as the following:
Left unchecked, these USB problems will slow down your PC, cause system instability and lead to crashes and blue screen errors.

To find the USB 2.0 driver that perfectly matches your system you need to know your PC brand and model, your Windows® operating system, and the brand and model of your USB port controller.
After this, you have to start the laborious task of trying to find the most up-to-date – and matching! – USB 2.0 driver and save it on your PC. And then you need to uninstall your old driver, and install the new one you found.
And by the way, you need to ensure that the new USB 2.0 driver you found works 100% with your Windows® version and other hardware devices.
However... why update drivers the old-fashioned, uber-time-consuming, error-prone way when DriverFinder gets the job done for you in just about 2 minutes?
Features | DriverFinder | Other Update Tools |
---|---|---|
Ease of Use | Highly-intuitive interface enables you to scan, download, update and install drivers to your PC without fuss. | Uses complicated interface. Disadvantage: You feel you need to go through a 'tech course' to use the application. |
Scanning Efficiency | Accurately detects your PC brand & model, and ALL hardware devices connected to it, including unplugged devices such as your USB webcam, MP3 player, and more! | Misses some of your hardware devices. No support for unplugged devices. Disadvantage: You miss out on updated drivers intended for these overlooked devices. |
Database Size | Supports more than 100,000 unique hardware devices... and counting! | Supports 50,000 unique hardware devices at most. Disadvantage: You miss out on updated drivers intended for your PC and/or driver 'updates' provided to you are old. |
Driver Integrity | Uses a unique combination of (1) automated crawlers, (2) electronic driver file analyzers, and (3) manual checking by computer professionals BEFORE driver files are added to our database! | Uses substandard technology or applies a very manual way of finding and cataloging drivers. Disadvantage: Slow database population. Plus, this is prone to incorrect driver classification. If you download and install a driver NOT suited to your PC, this may cause your system to crash. |
Hourly Updates! | Employs 24/7/365 automated crawlers and analyzers. If there's a driver update out there, we'll be the first to know about it! | Once-in-a-while, irregular updates; weekly checks at most. Disadvantage: The updates you get are 'old news'. |
Download Speed | Driver downloads are sourced from manufacturers AND relayed over our hi-speed data storage infrastructure. Data storage proudly serviced by Amazon Web Sevices. | Driver downloads are sourced only from manufacturer web sites. Disadvantage: If the driver manufacturer (e.g., HP) is down, you don't get your driver. Also, a lot of driver files are HUGE. It may take a long time to download them to your PC. |
System Compatibility | Fully compatible with all Windows OS versions, including Windows XP (32- and 64-bit), Windows Vista (32- and 64-bit), and Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit). | Most will not support 64-bit systems; one or two may support Vista 64-bit. Disadvantage: Windows 64-bit systems require 64-bit drivers. Period. If the update tool does not support your 64-bit system, the update tool is useless. |
Customer Support | Comprehensive. Includes KnowledgeBase, online manuals, license support, FAQ and email support. Plus, we apply a 24-hour guaranteed response time for all correspondence! | Poor customer service. Disadvantage: Your questions and concerns fall on deaf ears. |
