It seems like with every new Windows 10 build, drivers have got updated. The drivers from Support page have been updated to 2018 versions in PC (not on support page so don't try to view it) which is a nice thing. People, don't use any Driver updating software. Let it update automatically with each Windows 10 update!

    The drivers provided by Acer are tested and approved.
    Therefore, it is always advisable to first update the ones provided by Acer.

    Do not recommend this! People have run into a number of issues due to these updates to drivers via windows update.

    I agree with @sri369
    The drivers Acer gives on their website work for their systems best.  The hardware is custom made by Acer so naturally the drivers they upload are the best performing.

    So, Driver updating applications are safe?

    When I checked for Intel Graphics driver, it was updated but was tuned by Acer. When I check for updates using Intel Driver and Support Assistant, it still shows that I have OEM modified driver which can't be updated to Generic driver. Maybe, others were also custom made by Acer?

    Sometimes I feel the need to update my pc using good driver updater software. In such cases, I use Advanced Driver Updater software. Try it out once.

    No need. Just stay with whatever Intel offers through its IDSA and Windows Update, You can manually use Microsoft Catalogue as well.
