Avast Driver Updater Release-Version [20.2.1031]

Changelog/Fixes:
• A sound driver was corrupting after updates, but we fixed this and it corrupts no longer
• We fixed some inconsistencies between the total number of drivers and the number of scanned drivers
• Now you can restore older drivers through Restore Points. For each update, you'll have a single Restore Point that includes an older version of each updated driver. So in case you need to revert an update, Driver Updater will have a backup ready.
• You'll now find Restore Points turned on in your settings, but you can change this any time by going to Settings > General > Troubleshooting > Create System Restore Points
• Some under-the-hood improvements and regular bug fixes to keep Driver Updater running smoothly
• Diverse Verbesserungen und Fehlerkorrekturen
