Hi,
I was wondering how folks update drivers in their laptops. The vendor always has an app that provides driver and firmware updates. It's unclear if when delivered by the vendor app the drivers are WHQL.
At a later time these updates almost always reach Windows update as well. Leaving the WHQL question aside for a moment, the issue I had in the past was that almost aways when I installed drivers via the vendor app, Windows update had issues later ( when the drivers were included ). So I ended up not using the vendor update app at all and letting all driver updates come via Windows update, which is suboptimal as this way driver updates could happen months later.
How do people work around this driver conflict ?
Also I have secure boot enabled so there's the WHQL question as well
