It is a mistake to trust these auto updates and wizards.
This caused big woes on my HP laptop. I made the mistake of letting this automated process take place.

This process tried to update my bios and rendered it a paper weight. Even though i told it not to update any bios files ever.

I did manage to get it replaced through HP tech support but this was not without issues.

If your laptop/computer is working never update your bios,

I now turn off all updates for my system.

If there is a driver change is needed i will download it and do it manually myself.

Trusting these updates is a huge mistake.

It has been for many years to trust these wizards.

Until MS can fix there huge amount of holes in there O/S then it will still continue to be issues regarding these.
