Windows 10: Can the automatic driver installation be initiated manually?

Hello,

I noticed that windows "itself" - not windows update automatically downloads and installs drivers after plugging in and also right after a fresh windows installation.
But not if I intall any devices via the device manager manually before this automatic installation.
If so, then it may take a long time before the missing devices are installed automatically.

Can this check be initiated in any way?
A click in the device manager on "search for changed hardware" does not work.

Thanks and greetings,
Martin

Automatic GPU drivers installed

Hey guys for the past 6 months I've been running a gtx 580 and I've just sent it back today as part of the step up program to get the gtx 680. For the next 2 weeks I will be using my old 9800 gtx+. I installed the card and booted the computer and upon getting to the windows screen, windows searched automatically online and installed drivers. I rebooted and checked the driver version, and sure enough, it had found and installed the latest drivers for my card.

I've always manually installed drivers by starting up the nvidia process and all that, what windows did, was it a sufficient driver install? When I get the gtx 680, I'm assuming it will do this again, would it be a smart idea to manually install the driver or would windows version do the exact same thing? Thanks guys.
