Wondering if I should update these two drivers ... they are found in Windows Update.
Any troubles or benefits in doing so?
Thanks.

If it works perfectly ATM,best to leave like that.
If you really need to do it(a rendering software needs that version),create a restore point and proceed.If it borks your setup,you know what to do....
Yeah of course. Driver Updating by Windows Update is enabled on my system. So WU can update all driver software which is installed and managed by Windows Update. But Nvidia I installed manually by downloading the setup from manufactor's page.The drivers in Win Update are not the latest ones but the ones designed to be the most compatible with your OS/hardware brand. For example the Nvidia one isn't the latest; when i clean install my Win10 , i let the WU drivers first for maximum compatibility ;then update them with the latest version if any.
I understand, but your not a gamer, so my suggestion would not apply to you personally.in fact i let WU updating my drivers first , then replace them only if i find a newest version, because some vendors' drivers are sometimes hard to find or even older.
No, its a rule of thumb for me, I never use 3rd party driver updaters ever.One question to you guys...Have you used Driver Pack Solution?
It is my go-to tool when I'm prepping new setups.Saves me a lot of time,too....They often update their drivers with each release.
