Thanks for replying,my message sounds a bit rude and flustered But I was a bit frantic when wrtiting it as I didn't think anyone would read it so thank you. I have uninstalled restarted My PC and it seems to be the same,Am I supposed to have a subscription?I was quite certain I had a free trial for a week or so and am wondering why it isn't working for me.If it helps,The first thing it seems to be updating is vulnerable if that means anything but other then that i dont know what else to do,Am I supposed to leave my computer open for a long time,I did that and left it open for 2 hours and nothing changed so I'm a bit stuck on what to do.

For it too work am I suppose to pay for it?

Hi Lucas,
Thank you for the reply. I see you are facing issues with AVG Driver Updater. I am sorry for the inconvenience. I know how frustrating it would be. I see your issue n t resolved even after uninstalling and reinstalling it. Upon checking you account, I couldn't locate any active subscriptions. If you don't not have a Paid subscription for AVG Driver Updater, it will cause such technical issues. Could you please provide with me the alternate Email if any? I would be checking for active subscription and help you accordingly. Thanks for understanding and Keep us updated.

Hi, Do I need to have a subscription? Because so far I just downloaded the application but haven't activated a subscription because I thought that there was a free trial,
Many Thanks  

Lucas

Let us attempt to clarify this for you, Lucas.
In order to update the drivers, you may need to have a paid license of AVG Driver Updater. However, there is a 7 days trial of AVG Driver Updater. 
Thank you in advance!

That clears things up,I downloaded the driver on monday so I should still have atleast 2 days but I've been trying all week So now all my drivers should have realistically updated but I guess the AVG driver updater just didn't want to work for me

Thank you for writing us back. Lucas.
Please check if have you activated the 7 days trial of the AVG Driver Updater or not. In case have you availed of the 7 days trial on any other device earlier it may not be available for you and you need to buy the subscription to use the product.
Thank you.
