Hey everyone, after reinstalling Windows I checked my drivers and noticed my CPU's driver was from 2009 version 10.0.18362.1049. When I looked for an updated driver via Device Manager, nothing came up. I also tried the Intel Device Update utility but got no results. Although my CPU isn't the newest, it still uses that older driver. I searched their site and only found a graphics driver, not a CPU update.

Don't stress about it. The CPU doesn't need a dedicated driver. This functionality is built into Windows, and you can't update it directly.
