Is there a frequently update the drivers!
Regarding update drivers. But the old versions all running smoothly and normally. I have scanned using driver genius, and after the scan there were 11 updates. But I still do not replace one. Only in backing up the previous drivers. Worried after the update so it does not fit in and problems arise, though has been backed up previously. Is there a frequently update the drivers..

Hey Solin - Not 100% sure what the question is exactly but I hope I have understood it okay. 
I always utilise the theory 'if it ain't broke it doesn't need fixing', so... I leave well enough alone and do not update drivers unless I am experiencing specific issues.
HTH,
Cheers....Jim

Sometimes replacing the drivers using driver genius causes problems depending on the manufacturer, it's a great tool for backing up drivers and as brightspark mentioned if it isn't broke don't fix it sound advice to be honest, unless it's a security issue or performance issue. For myself i prefer the manufactures website and the forums are great for driver issues and more user friendly than ever these days.

I'd rather be fishing!
Here is another vote for, "if it ain't broke, then don't fix it" theory. And if like Jay says, an update is necessary to fix a security issue or performance issue, then its always wise to have the old driver backed up in case the new one causes problems.

I update my drivers after a reinstall. No other time.

True that all of you are saying. Thank you all.. Sometimes updated drivers are at risk. I agree with this sentence: If it is not broke, then do not need to fix it.
