Just out of curiosity, how do you install your drivers?

Do you install them using the Updates from Windows or directly from the manufacturer website?

I ONLY have the network drivers saved directly from my PC manufacturer onto my USB pen drive but all else I just let the Windows Updates install the rest of the drivers.

I let Windows have the first bite of the cherry, but then inevitably have to call on Snappy Driver Installer ORIGIN (note the ORGIN version ONLY)

But usually only use it for problematic hardware, selecting only the drivers offered for that hardware, rather than all the others.
