Let Windows install whatever drivers it wants. When you are missing some, get them from the manufacturers website. Same response I gave last time: superuser.com/questions/1715607/…– GantendoCommented Apr 11, 2022 at 17:57

The drivers installed by Windows Update are the exact same drivers you can find on the manufacturers website. Not all drivers are available via Windows Update, but if that happens you could just go get them from the manufacturers website(s).– GantendoCommented Apr 11, 2022 at 18:13

1You don't need to worry about windows installing drivers, you can install drivers "on top of". There is always left over files here and there, they wont interfere– MarkCommented Apr 11, 2022 at 18:39

@Gantendo what you just said is false. I build workstations in the TV broadcast industry for a living and can promise you the windows drivers are not always the same as the manufacturers ones, and the creative software leaders insist we do not use windows drivers when building our systems. Always go for the manufacturers ones if your personal choice is to not be so relaxed about it.– MastaxxCommented Apr 29, 2022 at 14:58

The OEM drivers from Windows Update should be used, as they're the most up-to-date drivers available - the only time a driver from an OEM site should be used is if there is an issue with the driver Windows Update is providing (such as it's not providing the correct customized GPU driver, as these are customized by OEMs from the generic driver), for CPU-related drivers [Chipset, thermal, etc.]. Unless a system model is within it's 1 - 2yr support time frame (model itself, not the one owned)_, OEM drivers are no longer updated and would not be the correct ones to use anyways at that point– JW0914Commented Apr 29, 2022 at 15:15

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
