New Beta version 20.2.921

Hello everyone,
New Beta version of Avast Driver Updater product is now available in Beta (20.2.921)!
What's new in Avast Driver Updater product?
Over 7,000,000 drivers
: We have a much larger database of drivers than in the previous version.
Windows System Restore Points are now automatically created with every updated driver.
Now you can restart just once for all your new updates (instead of a special restart for each new driver that asks for it).
Your first scan after restarting won't change much, but your scans after this one will be much faster than before.
We cleaned up the update process to make it smoother and easier to navigate.
We fixed several errors reported by you, including the 'this is embarrassing' screen after updates and restarts.
How can you help?
Download the Beta version:
https://honzik.avcdn.net/setup/avast-du/beta/avast_driver_updater_online_setup.exe
.
Execute the installation package and go through the wizard to install the product.
The product shall guide you or you can freely navigate through it and try it on your own to see how it works.
Please try as much features as you can to see how they work and check whether there are any bugs or unexpected behavior.
If you find any bugs during testing, please create a new thread in this forum section.
Please provide us also with feedback about what you like most and what you would change.
Since we aim to deliver the best Driver Updater product - would you add anything that is missing? Do not hesitate to share your feedback!
Known issues
Reverting the drivers is not very user friendly, we know about the problem and working on a better solution.
Thank you & enjoy the beta testing!
AVAST Team.

Hi, while testing the beta, I got 3 drivers that won't update - no matter what.
While ADU says successful, they always show up again after a new ADU scan.
Let me know if you would want/need any logs... (Screenshots attached)

The update wipes out my Realtek sound drivers.
The only thing I'm left with are my USB devices.
