A few of us are aware that Snappy Driver Installer is now in the hands of less than honest devs.
I wish I could say that I didn't see this coming.
Snappy Driver Installer Origin is clean, I've used it several times before sharing here.
Drivers are a PITA, and SDI has been a godsend for me personally. Let's support the new dev and project as best we can.
SDI is particularly nice to use when you don't know what hardware you have in your machine - it detects your hardware even when there are no (older) drivers already installed. There were VERY FEW situations when it did not have the required driver - even then it identified the hardware nontheless.
Really powerful but need a huge amount of stored data to work.
Don't use this. Use Snappy Driver Installer ORIGIN instead.
Whats the difference?

The original owner runs the ORIGIN version, which also happens to be portable. Someone forked it, made it an .exe, and added bundleware to it to make this crap.

Unfortunately I cannot recommend this software.
Apart from its indisputably ugly UI design (which might have been acceptable in the 2000s) and unintuitive user guidance, it has even more problems.
SDI also fails in its core discipline of correctly identifying devices and assigning the correct driver.
Especially many problems I had with USB drivers. For example after an update the connected device was not recognized anymore or the BluRay drive could not play the disc anymore.
Also my soundcard didn't work anymore after an update with "newer drivers".
