Updating your drivers used to be a real pain. How far we've come.

Windows used to have the constitution of 1-ply toilet paper.

That was the Windows we lived with for years. I got used to aggressively telling Windows no, I didn't want to restart for every minor new program install, and mostly I got away with it. It turned out Windows would, for the most part, keep ticking along just fine despite its warnings. But there were some things that always seemed like they'd require a full reboot. Installing new graphics card drivers was one of them.

Graphics driver installs got smoother over the years, but surely changing something as fundamental as the bridge between your computer hardware and how every pixel is drawn on your screen would require restarting Windows. Then Nvidia came out with GeForce Experience, eliminating that obnoxious"hunt for the right driver" step… and also making it so that you could just keep carrying on Windows while the fresh new driver installed. No more reboots.
