Windows 10: Windows Auto Update should not Update these drivers or software

Windows Auto Update should not Update these drivers or software

:)

 

Driver update software

Windows Update should have a considerable amount of good drivers. They'll be listed under the "Optional Updates" section. That should give you rather good functionality right off the bat. If it's a branded PC, latest drivers will likely have to come from the manufacturer's website. For the most part, built-in drivers should be Good Enough™

I don't think I've run across an automagic driver installer that wasn't loaded with malware.

 

Microsoft Auto-Updates Components of Windows Without User Permission

The nine files that are updated all have to do with the Auto-Updater itself.
The article lists them all. No big deal.

I run auto-update anyway, so BRING ON THE NEW UPDATES !!!
I have yet to experience any problems from MS updates on my XP network.

 

Driver update software

Yes, not so simple with relative, anyway, after some test on my laptop(a lenovo g510 new model with crappy drivers) with some software, yes, this kind of software in best case repair the problem but broke something else, I find though a verry interesting approach with My-config software, it is free, it only show only the new drivers and only drivers certified by Microsoft, and it give you only direct link to drivers download, but on laptop I have tested, it have already instaled drivers, so something not going good with update part(I will try it again when I will get the new hdd, with a clean windows install),but yes , the safe route it is manufactured equipement(not individual hardware) and Windows update, now I will wait for first relative with a driver problem(usually not take long)...feel free to put your experience with that kind of software...
