MSI Live Update 6.2.0.74

MSI Live Update 是微星官方推出的硬體更新工具，主要服務自家主機板與顯示卡用戶。它會自動掃描系統中過舊的驅動程式、BIOS 版本與公用軟體，並提供一站式的下載與安裝流程，省去手動到官網比對型號的麻煩。最有辨識度的特色在於與 MSI 硬體的深度整合，能一次處理多種元件的更新，對維持系統穩定與安全性有直接幫助。這款工具在系統優化分類中屬於中段班的選擇，評價中上，但更新步調不算頻繁，仍維持著基本維護。

這套軟體最適合擁有 MSI 主機板或顯示卡的用戶，尤其是剛組裝新機、或遇到系統不穩想更新 BIOS 時，能快速確認是否有對應的新版韌體。與 FileHippo App Manager 這類通用驅動更新工具相比，它的優勢是精準鎖定 MSI 自家硬體，較不易裝錯驅動；但缺點是對非 MSI 產品完全無用，且介面僅提供英文，沒有中文版。軟體本身免費，僅支援 Windows 平台，使用前需確認自己的硬體是否在支援清單內。
