The only way to get these drivers was to identify the ID of the Hardware, google what the HW was, then go to Dell's website and download the correct driver manually. And there were numerous drivers that Windows/MS could not identify. I recently re-installed a 1 year old Dell from scratch, without using the recovery partition (didn't want all the bloatware).
My experience would tell me this is not the case. Reason: Microsoft has not any signed driver for it, therefore nobody has a signed driver for it. I'm going to see if it's possible to make Driver Genius portable using Cameyo.
I just don't want to install it to be able to run it once. I generally take the 'If it ain't broke.' approach and, as I said, don't use any scheduled scan or see any point in taking an automated approach to updating drivers, but used intelligently and with due caution a good driver scanner is a valuable addition to any tool kit. I've subsequently learned how to use the information in the properties of the device that's not working to identify it, but it's still much easier to use the utility. I spent a whole afternoon trying to fix the problem before giving up and buying a licence for Driver Genius which fixed the problem in minutes (it turned out to be an Intel ME driver). I used to take the same view until I was faced with a PC with one of those little yellow warning triangles in Device Manager and no idea which device was causing the problem. Well, you're clearly not 'missing' anything if you've never had a problem solved by a driver utility.
