How often do you need to update your PC drivers from what Windows automatically provides?

If you own a computer (desktop PC or a laptop), you surely have experienced Windows notifying you repeatedly to update your computer from available software's they have on hand to update the current new ones you have already installed.

By default, Windows automatically downloads current softwares available for you when you want to install them.  It may also download and install them by default when you did nothing at the settings.  According to Windows FAQ, updating should be as often as possible since its the best way to prevent or repair known problems and they enhance the security ans stability of your computer.

From my experienced, updating as soon as possible from what Windows prompts us to install is not that obligatory or required if you don't want to apply them now.  I have experienced inconveniences which were introduced or brought about upon doing and applying certain updates which Windows often rapidly instructs me to do.  Its up to us users to decide if we want them or not, since its ours to choose.

You have to try to stick your nose onto a few settings here and there, so that you wont be prompted as often as possible and only do updates which you want your system to apply.  As long as your computer is working as it should be and how you want it to work, then updating can be DELAYED.  If you encounter a bit of trouble in the near future, then try to update then.

Providing such updates for each Windows user is how Microsoft proves that they are also focused on efficient after-sales customer service to enhance full customer experience by generously giving us these updates when they think that a driver should be revised so that it would act as efficiently as possible for full user satisfaction.  But if you are already satisfied from how your system runs now, why make the update.

How to declutter your iPad and iPhone to get free space.

Downloading apps which includes games and other useful ones, which aids us in our day to day schedule like maps and camera apps and most especially social application such as +Facebook  , +Twitter and +Instagram will seriously consume our available storage space. These again add up to our downloaded ibooks (if you love to read), songs and movies on your iPad and iPhone.  If you love to download like i do and does not pay attention to your +Apple devices free storage space, which subsequently clutter your gadgets storage space which will generally affect your device's speed.

Here's a simple way on how to declutter your device and promote additional free storage for other important apps you are looking at downloading in the near future.

Click Settings, select General and tap on Usage.  From here you will see your available and used-up space and which application contributes mostly on that used-up space.  Look closely and review each one.

You have the options in deleting some of these applications that you don't use much often or might have forgotten to access for quite sometime.  Look through the list and decide if you still would want to keep an app or two and delete those you would like to discard to free up more space.

Every data being kept on your device is coupled with an app which comes whenever you download them.
You may also tap on the Manage Storage and see through which apps are actually being backed-up.  You may want to buy additional iCloud storage if you do not want you iPad or your iPhone backing-up directly on your device and use iCloud service instead.  The idea here is to maximize your device storage capacity by focusing on which app or things you'd like your gadget to save and a few others goes to your iCloud storage.

Removing unwanted apps instantaneously free up space, but if you still need to free up some more and finds your remaining apps worth keeping.  You may turn and look for your saved songs, movies and photos. What you can do on these on the other-hand is to put them or save them in to your computer instead of deleting them.  deleting a photo is like deleting a memory or a part of you.  I definitely don't delete a single photo, i keep them safe so that whenever i would like to browse for memories i would turn to my picture folders on my pc.  The same thing goes for songs and movies, save them for future's use.
