Since you've installed HP Support Assistant, follow these steps:
- Open HP Support Assistant.
- Go to My Devices and select your HP device.
- Click on Check for updates and messages.
- If any updates are available, install them.
2. Manually Checking in Device Manager
- Press Win + X and select Device Manager.
- Expand each category (especially Display adapters, Network adapters, Sound, video and game controllers) and check for any devices with a yellow triangle (indicating outdated or missing drivers).
- Right-click each device and select Update driver > Search automatically for drivers.
3. Visit the HP Support Website
- Go to HP Customer Support – Software and Driver Downloads.
- Enter your device model and check for available driver updates.
- Compare the versions listed with the ones installed on your system.
4. Windows Update

Thanks,
I uninstalled HP Update and installed HP Support Assistant. But how do I now know, whether all drivers are actual?
No updates are available for the printer.
