[QUOTE="MartinX2, post: 937697, member: 91322"] You might be right but manufacturer drivers are still better mainly if you have a laptop. In most cases it doesn't matter that manufacturer has older version of driver. For example recently I did fresh install of windows 10 on two laptops and drivers was installed by windows. First laptop had problems with nvidia driver that led to lower fps in games. After I installed driver from manufacturer site everything worked as it should be. Second laptop had realtek sound driver "from windows" that was causing low microphone volume even if everything was on maximum. Again driver from manufacturer solved this problem. From this point I don't let windows to download drivers. If you have an old laptop when manufacturer drivers don't support Windows 10 than yes, let windows to download drivers. Other than that the best solution is to download drivers to usb, turn off internet, install windows, install drivers, turn off update drivers in gpedit, connect internet. [/QUOTE]
