    Use Drivers on Motherboard Website or the Most Current Driver?


    This is a question that seems to have differing opinions on the internet and I was hoping an expert here would be able to answer it here.

    I have a motherboard that has several components that requires drivers. Should I use the drivers that the motherboard website has provided? OR, should I install the most current drivers from the component's website.

    For example, the motherboard website provides an old set of drivers for the WiFi. Should I install these? Or, should I go to to the Intel's website and install the most current driver for the Wifi for that specific WiFi?

    Truthfully, it seems the drivers provided by the motherboar seem to work better than the more current driver but that's just a hunch.

    :)

    The 9th gen processors that are currently available is still the P0 stepping and will eventually be replaced with the new R0 stepping processors.

    Here are the screenshots I took from Gigabyte's website

    Gigabyte redacted the new R0 processors from the list a day later.

    Windows 10 Start Menu Most Used Reset

    Hi

    Can I suggest to the Microsoft Engineers to follow these steps:

    - Click Start

    - Right Click on your most favourite app in the "most used" section

    - Navigate to > More > Don't show in this list

    - Click on Don't show in this list (pretend you got the wrong app and you've now removed your favourite app)!

    - Tell us how you get your favourite app to re-appear again in the "most used" section.
