Windows 10: My SDD Performance is discouraging. Could a driver update help?

I have a Samsung laptop running Windows 10. I want to improve my SSD performance. It often goes to 100% on the Task Manager, My controller is is listed as "IntelR 6th Generation Core Processor Family Platform I/O SATA AHCI Controller" with driver version 14.8.11.1056. The driver date is 2016. Is there a driver update for me that might be helpful? I searched for updates on https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com, but I cannot find a similarly named driver. I see plenty of Intel HDC drivers, but that's it.

Windows update reverted display to MS Basic Display Driver

Hi,

Normally, this issue occurs when the drivers were being corrupted or updated after the recent update. Since you've already tried to install the latest driver, we suggest that you roll back to the previous driver and check if it helps to resolve the issue. To
do this, kindly follow the steps below:

• Open Device Manager.
  
• Double-click the device for which you want to roll back to the previous version of the driver, and then click
  Properties.
  
• Under the Driver tab, select Roll Back Driver.
  
• Select OK.

Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested steps.
