Sorry I didn't mean to confuse you.
Actually, it is an all-in-one desktop but from seeing a dell repair person open it up, it works more like a laptop but that just my opinion. From what what I saw, the dvd/cd drive for example would also work in a laptop. I think the all-in-one uses laptop parts.
You can do what Callender said or do what I said. Whichever method works better for you. I was just giving you another option as what to do. I read some people do better with never install driver software from windows update and using the manufactures driver update program. I even used that option myself but I came across another problem but that might confuse you more.
It seems that everyone has their own take on the subject. What I personally do is:
After a clean install of windows download available drivers from the computer manufacturer's website and install them. For anything else I don't worry too much about updating drivers unless there's a performance issue or I see problems indicated by "Device Manager"
I do run driver update check software from time to time but if updates are available I note them down and search for them manually.
Generally Windows Update will provide you with a working driver but if you have a driver that works okay maybe you don't need to update it unless it offers new features that you actually need.
Re: Realtek drivers. I just stick with the driver that's available for download on the ASUS (for my machine) website.
Yep realtek that one is coming out every darn week or 2
I too just leave that one alone asus's is fine.
I guess you have not had my experience. I've tried many "solutions" even the one from Microsoft's own forum. I removed the recommended GWX keys (and a few others on my own) from the Registry using regedit. After 2 reboots, I no longer had a Win10 icon, but first thing I get after selecting some security updates is Win10 downloading - yet again!
I finally followed another forum's advise to block Updates completely but now my system is not getting any security updates. Plan B is the pain of reverting to an old system image - if I could only remember the date I agreed to the update!
The only part of this pushing it out to every computer is why, I've never felt a spam feeling from Windows and this just feels odd.
You might run this and see what returns,
