![driver issues](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/6/46cdd1662cc522127f073c76b3f032561cebc226.png)Sorry if this is answered somewhere else, maybe I searched for the wrong keywords. I've tried referring to the manual in order to download the correct Drivers but I can't find anything to download. I'm using a Windows 11 laptop if that changes anything. Any help would be great ---

Go into Connections \> Settings on your gateway and ensure those two connection options are enabled and not in an errored state. Also, try consulting the following page of the manual, it should have links to common 3rd party JDBC drivers. > **[JDBC Drivers and Translators | Ignition User Manual](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.3/platform/database-connections/connecting-to-databases/jdbc-drivers-and-translators)** > > There are cases where drivers or translators may need modification. Something to note from that manual page: > In addition, restoring a Gateway backup from an older version will replace any new versions of the drivers with the versions from the backup. In this case, you will need to [update the JDBC drivers](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.3/platform/database-connections/connecting-to-databases/jdbc-drivers-and-translators#upgrade-a-jdbc-driver). ---
