Windows 10 Driver update

My OS is win 10 Pro 64 bit.  I bought a new Micro USB Charger/Sync cable because my mobile LG phone would no show up on iTunes despite having the latest copy.  Then while researcing one of the solutions was that possibly the drivers are out of date, and this should be the first port of call.
      Is there any free utility for me to scan my pc to see if all my windows 10 drivers are uptodate or not and then go to the particular site and update the driver.  Thank u

Often charger type cables do not have the transmit/receive which are required for data transfer.
The charger type cables only have power and ground .......

Check whether you connect using Bluetooth if available.

In addition, run Windows 10 Updates. By now, many driver updates are done by Windows 10. Many of my Lenovo ThinkPad driver updates are coming by way of Windows 10.

I do not use third party driver update software, however. Only manufacturer or Windows 10 drivers.

With regard to your LG phone, it will not show up in iTunes. But if you turn Auto Play on for the phone (Control Panel, Auto Play), and follow the settings provided in the post by MASQ, you may be able to see the phone in Windows Explorer.
This article about LGs windows connection suite includes steps on how to enable MTP on LG phones (see steps 2 and 5)
