The driver updates I am looking at are: • C-Media Inc. - Media - 7/16/2018 12:00:00 AM - 10.0.12.0 • PXI - other hardware - HID-compliand device • ELECOM - Mouse - 7/2/2015 12:00:00 AM - 2.0.0.0 I have had these sitting in the optional updates forever. Should I update these or just leave them? I know what type of driver the C-Media and ELECOM are but and confused why I am getting them as they are for AMD Architecture and I have an Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU. As for the "PXI - other hardware - HID-compliand device." I understand that it is for human interface devices the concept of the PXI, but I have no idea what exactly what compent(s) of my PC this driver update is targeting.

As long everything works, there's really no reason to update. (Unless for "security" I guess)

I’d probably skip them considering their age. There was a time when I changed a Corsair driver using an outdated version that arrived via Windows Update and caused issues. Likely, you already have updated drivers—either from the maker or generic sources—that function properly if your hardware is stable. Keep in mind that third-party updates in Microsoft Update aren’t tested for every operating system. These updates are shared across various OS versions, so around 2015/2018 they were released during Windows 7 or early Windows 10 phases and might not work correctly with newer Windows 10 or even Windows 11 versions.
