TSDC - Total Service and Driver Control
|
TSDC - Total Service and Driver Control is a system tool for removal of services and drivers - device drivers - old and unnecessary for Windows.
Even after removing or switching devices such as printers, scanners and boards, including the uninstall programs installed together, it is common programs and services remain the systems behind that continue to be loaded at computer startup. The presence of older drivers also affect the stability of the system, especially during the installation of new equipment. Whenever you add any hardware or internal devices, you need to install the drivers. These drivers remain in the system even if you are not using the hardware anymore. Some of these dead drivers might be causing problems with the OS and also cause it to crash many times.
