Download Driver Fusion 2.2.0

Treexy has released version 2.2.0 of Driver Fusion. With this program old drivers can be cleaned. When removing old drivers via a supplied uninstaller or via the control panel, not all files of that driver are always removed from the system and sometimes keys are left behind in the registry. This can lead to stability or performance issues in some cases. Driver Fusion is available in a free version and in a premium version, which additional functionality offers. The free version is bundled with adware, prices for the Premium version start at 13 euros. The changelog for version 2.2.0 shows the following changes and improvements:

New features:

• Interface – Health check and driver family now show progress in the taskbar of Windows 7 and higher. **
• Health check – The tooltip of the driver now includes the Windows error message when the driver install fails. **
• Device control – Added a driver backup failed message in case the backup failed. **
• Device control – The message shown when a driver install fails now includes the Windows error message. **
• Device control – Added the authenticode information of the driver to driver overview. **
• Device control – Community suggested feature – You can now also backup online drivers instead of only installed drivers. This enables you to download a driver without being forced to immediately install the driver. **
• Settings – Community suggested feature – A new setting has been added so that a minimum driver signature can be selected for the drivers that are downloadable through health check or device control. The available options are none, signed, authenticode verified by a trusted publisher, authenticode, and WHQL. **
• Driver families – Added new categories and devices with a lot of new driver family entries to clean, such as devices and peripherals from Razer, Mad Catz, Synaptics, Dell, Epson, Lexmark, Kyocera, Brother and Canon. The existing driver families also have been greatly improved by adding a large number of new driver family entries.
• Interface – All screens are now loaded asynchronous and do not block the user interface anymore during loading.
• Interface – Longer lasting tasks, such as the health check and driver family scan, can now be cancelled.

Hsieh, Yoruba (Nigeria), Punjabi (India), Nepali (Nepal), Maori (New Zealand), Lao (Lao PDR), Khmer ( Cambodia), Igbo (Nigeria), Hausa (Latin, Nigeria), Bosnian (Latin, Bosnia and Herzegovina), Mongolian (Cyrillic, Mongolia), and Marathi (India).
• Health check – The tooltip of the driver now includes the provider, release date, version, and signature.
• Health check – Changed the cursor of the driver backup destination icon to a pointer to better indicate that it is clickable.

Changed features:

• Health check – Drivers with a lower version number than the installed driver are now also allowed to be installed. This is especially useful when the older driver, such as the default Microsoft driver, has a higher version number than the newer driver shipped by the vendor. **
• Health check – Increased the amount of drivers that can be downloaded for missing and outdated drivers through improved matching. **
• Device control – Changed the color for missing devices and missing drivers in the colored bar. **

• Device control – Improved and the naming scheme and performance of backup. **
• Interface – Renamed location at driver backup to destination to make it similar to health check. **
• Treexy account – It is now possible to register and sign in using your email address instead of a username. The existing usernames are no longer required and will be removed in the future. Remembered account details (if enabled) will automatically use your email address the next time you sign in.
• Treexy account – Improved handling of sign in and sign out so that users have less chance of waiting for the server to reset existing sessions that are not closed correctly.
• Interface – The filters and history data grid now automatically scrolls to the top when changing the selected item.
• Interface – Screens that have success messages (such as resend email or reset password) now show a green notification upon success.
• Interface – All dialog screens are now the same size.

• Product activation – The upgrade to premium label was not immediately hidden after license activation. **
• Device control – Devices could in some cases not show any driver information even though there was a driver installed. **
• Device control – Removing a backup in install driver did not refresh the content correctly. **

• Device control – Reboot notifications could in some cases not show. **

• Device control – The state of related devices did not refresh when enabling or disabling a device that influences the state of related devices. For example, Bluetooth devices are usually related to a couple of other devices. **
