DPS 16 doesn’t use any of old codebase from DPS 15 but it performs even worse than the old version.

However, deleting the folder with settings from APPDATA, will reveal whether the list is actually empty. DPS is said to be designed for “housewifes”(as they stated themselves) who need only to press a single button and, unbeknownst to them, DPS 16 silently installs adware and tries to cover up failures by remembering failed install attempts and never suggesting installing these drivers again.

T main goal of DPS team is to maximize the profit by reaching as many as users as possible and forcing adware on them.

If you compare the source code of DPS 12 R255 and DPS 15.11, you’ll find out that only GUI, driverpacks and adware were updated while no improvement were made on the driver matching algorithm.

If you use DPS often, you must be familiar with such common issues as scripting errors, installing touchpad drivers on desktops, installing Realtek and Creative drivers at the same time, missing Intel USB 3.0 support, etc.

No one has worked on improving the driver matching algorithm in DPS for years and the reliability degraded over time.

I suggest using Snappy Driver Installer(SDI) instead of DriverPack Solution(DPS).
