There’s a Drivers Update button among its tools, but clicking it simply prompts you to install the separate DUMo tool by taking you to its web page ( bit.ly/dumo448). SUMo doesn’t currently update device drivers. A handful of extra features, including the option to manually include or exclude specific folders in your scans (in case you’ve installed programs in non-standard locations, for example) and the ability to export your list of applications as a text file or spreadsheet (CSV) file, round out this excellent tool. Its developers don’t explicitly state how many applications and programs the tool supports, but in our tests, SUMo was able to spot and provide updates for several programs that other tools of this type failed to pick up on.īy default, SUMo is set to check for updates every time you start your PC, but you can customise this and other functions by clicking Options, then Settings. SUMo’s other benefit is the huge number of programs it supports. From here, you can download and install the latest version yourself. It doesn’t automatically download the update itself – you have to click a program, then Get Update to open the program’s download page in your browser. Run SUMo and it scans your PC for installed programs and tools, then displays a list of what it’s found, highlighting any programs that are in need of updating with an amber or red warning. You can support the site directly via Paypal donations ☕.
