Description
DriverGeek lists every driver on your PC with its version and date, then checks which ones have a newer release. It does not install anything behind your back and it does not charge for the update list. You see what is out of date, you decide what to do about it.

Could you build this?
Partial Interacting with low-level Windows APIs and WMI to enumerate hardware devices is straightforward, but maintaining an exhaustive, authoritative, and clean database of vendor driver updates is difficult.
What it would actually take: The client app can be built in C#/.NET or C++ using setupapi.dll and WMI/PNP APIs to extract device hardware IDs (HWIDs), driver dates, and versions. The core challenge is the backend driver catalog: it requires continuous automated crawlers scraping OEM sites (Dell, HP, Lenovo, Intel, Realtek, Nvidia) and cataloging INF packages mapped reliably to thousands of HWIDs without distributing buggy or mismatched drivers.
