    Hi guys,
    Does anyone know if there is such a utility that will allow me to add multiple .exe's to a queue for installation one after another?

    I've got a tonne of new drivers for my laptop and would like to speed up the whole process so I was thinking that if there was such program that would allow me add all of my drivers to a queue and run them sequentially that would be ideal but I'm not sure if anything like this exists.

    I've tried uniblue driver scanner but it doesn't recognise ALL the outdated drivers. In fact, it probably only found 20% of the drivers that were out of date.

    Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    How did you decide the drivers were out of date?
    My rules : a) if hardware is not acting weird - DO NOT update the driver
    b) only download drivers from your laptop makers site

    First, I agree with plodr that there is seldom a real need to update your device drivers. Probably the most notable exception is the graphics drivers, which may not support the latest Flash Player versions or other graphic software.

    Regarding driver update programs, my favorite is DriverMax - the free version allows up to two driver downloads per day. It will install the drivers itself, not download executable driver updates.

    Your main question - running multiple executables in a row: you could write a simple batch script, with a list of your executables and a PAUSE between each.
