I have killed some apps, but they are still there when I run Booster again.

Some apps will be reloaded by android system after being killed (because they may be essential for the normal operating of system), so you will find them running even without using them. But this doesn't mean that Booster didn't kill them.

We suggest adding the shortcut of Booster on the home screen of your device and use it often to improve your device performance. Open AMC Security > tap Booster > tap the Options icon at the top right corner > tap Create a shortcut and OK.

And it’s also recommended to use Power Booster to hibernate auto-restarted apps to free up more memory. Please tap the moon icon at the top right corner of Booster page to go into Power Booster.

Please make sure to update your AMC Security account in Account Manager by tapping the Refresh icon at the top right corner.

If it still shows you’re a Free user, it may be due to the network delay of Google Play. In that case, please contact us via Feedback inside the app, and provide us with your order number and AMC Security account email. We’ll look into it and reply to you ASAP.

Update Failure

If no, please temporarily disable your anti-virus program and all other unnecessary services, or add Driver Booster into the white list of the program which may block Driver Booster working. Then run Driver Booster again to see whether it works properly.

Missing Drivers

To make sure the drivers in our database are stable enough for most computers, we have more strict rules to filter drivers, which takes us longer time to test. That's why sometimes we are slower to display the outdated drivers, and sometimes we won't even show those that may cause serious PC problems.
If you are sure that there is any driver Driver Booster is missing, we'd like to manually double check the driver for our PRO USERS, after the following information is provided to our email address [email protected]:
1. What is the missing driver’s name? (The screenshot of the scan result of other driver update tools or related information in Device Manager will be helpful)
2. What is the driver date and driver version of the missing driver
3. Click here to download our tool >> double click to run this tool >> click 'Save report to Desktop' >> find db_info_YYYYMMDD_i.zip on your desktop >> send the zip file.

PC slow down after updating drivers

When you boot your computer for the first time after updating drivers, the system has to load the new drivers which consume large amounts of computer performance, so the computer is slow. But it will be back to normal when you reboot later.
Otherwise you can contact us via email address [email protected].

Screen gets black, fickering, shrinking

When a new graphics driver is being installed, its running parameter may get adjusted or even reset. So black, flickering or shrinking screen happens. Please do not worry or operate wrongly like forcing shutdown. Your screen will go back to normal once the update is finished or the computer is rebooted. If no, please contact us via [email protected].
