  1. My only comment is that if it was my pc, I would be very nervous about the whole thing.

    If you read through the drive booster section, the older versions of the program, you will find many

    recommendations about updating drivers. Such as...

    Do not update drivers unless you have a specific driver issue or the manufacturer strongly recommends an update.

    If it is not broken, do not fix it.

    If you insist on updating your drivers...then never bulk update.... only update two or three at a time so if there is an issue you can track it.

    Create a system Restore point at least once a week, as automatic restore points are notoriously known for not working. I use Iobit Advanced Systemcare to do this, and it has never failed to restore. Also, if you decide to do anything major such as restoring a lot of drivers, then create a restore point before hand.

    Also be aware, that some windows updates will delete your system restore points and that windows automatically removes restore points older than about 3 weeks.

    I also have a Lenovo, and I have not updated a driver in 3 years, and have had no issues.

  2. When you pick a restore point, your system will be restored to what it was on that date and time that the restore point was made. So any changes

    made to your system after that time will be lost...including windows updates and newly installed software.

    So, you should pick the one just before you did the driver updates, so as to minimise any losses.

    If there are new items or windows updates that you don't want to lose through using system restore....then the Driver Restore is your option, as this will restore only

    the drivers.

    Again it is confusing, because you stated previously that you updated 57 drivers, and now you are saying 153.

    Yes, please give feedback on what you find as it may help others.

  3. Yes. Thank you.

    Have you tried downloading the mouse driver directly from the Lenovo site, and see if that fixes the issue.

    having updated so many drivers makes fixing the issue very difficult as it could be usb drivers or system drivers causing the issue.

    have you tried using a system restore point to restore your system to a time before you did the driver updates.

    This would undo all the driver updates and should fix the issue.

  4. This is not a Smart Defrag issue, but a system issue, and it is actually a well documented issue on windows.

    https://www.google.com/search?q=Windows+cannot+find+'C:\Program+Files+(x86)\+.+Make+sure+you+typed+the+name+correctly,+and+then+try+again."&client=firefox-b&sxsrf=AOaemvKXolQwkOJvtZMP3ciUXA12jyVQsQ:1638086935896&ei=FzmjYZ-bNs_XgQbX3YigCg&start=0&sa=N&ved=2ahUKEwjfgrOvzbr0AhXPa8AKHdcuAqQ4ChDy0wN6BAgBEDY&biw=1512&bih=701&dpr=0.9

     

    Also, be aware, that windows has a built in Defrag function which runs automatically and should be turned off

    if you are using a third party defrag program, as they will conflict and or undo each others work.
