Never trust Windows Updates for drivers
Have been bitten twice:
NVidia: One update pushed drivers that results in "device stopped working but has recovered" errors and freezing. Traced this down to the motherboard chipset (NVidia NForce, no less) having a dodgy Message Signaled Interrupt implementation which the later drivers tried to enable. Rolled back to the legacy 314.22 and had not have any issues, and sat it out until later drivers who detect the motherboard chipset type and not enable MSI if the chipset is on the list. And even then I'm still extremely reluctant to upgrade.
SoundBlaster X-Fi: One update driver caused volume to be stuck at maximum and horrible sound distortions.
And this is why I don't let Windows Update handle driver updates anymore.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
