Question

why do you need to install device driver every time you attach a new hardware device with your computer​

Answer 1

We need to install a device driver everytime we attach a new hardware device with our computer because the device Driver helps the computer to connect with the hardware device like keyboard, mouse, monitor and etc. It also contains codes that helps the computer to function the hardware properly.

Answer 2

Answer:

"A device driver, sometimes known as a software driver, is a computer programme that allows other programmes to interface with a device."

Explanation:

• The computer bus or communications subsystem to which the hardware is linked is where a driver communicates with the device.
• The drivers are the instructions that tell the computer what the device is capable of.
• Many standard devices have drivers that are semi-universal or at least semi-compatible.
• If Windows is unable to identify your graphics card/GPU, it will assign a rudimentary graphics driver.
• This driver will not be able to use the functions of your GPU, but it will display an image and prompt you to install the right driver that will allow you to use the accessory's features.
• While there are universal drivers for basic operations, everything (well, almost everything) that isn't essential will require some form of driver. The reason is straightforward.
• Thankfully, Microsoft maintains a database of most drivers in the Windows Update Catalog, which may be downloaded when a device identification is discovered and a driver is required.
• This eliminates the requirement for most driver CDs and other software that used to be included with all devices.
• Many of the drivers in the catalogue are basic, and while they may perform the device's basic operations, they are frequently used as a stopgap until the manufacturer's driver and accompanying the software are loaded.

Hence, drivers are to be installed every time a new hardware device is attached to the computer.
