Hi All,
I noticed there was a update in the Windows Update > Advanced Options > Optional Updates MS AudioProcessingObjectDriver Update (10.3.56670)
Could have been there since last WU,,,not sure. I am running Sound Blaster card so I was wondering if this one is needed considering I don't use the onboard audio?
Can anyone give me some advice on this driver?

Cheers

Don't mess with the driver(s) unless there is a 'need' to.
That driver will still be in the Optional updates if you ever need it.



Just a quick Google found this... top result...

Likewise.
:-)


If it makes any difference, I have most of the drivers I installed in May 2020 (Win 10) still running in Win 10 and now in Win 11. I always update the chipset drivers when new ones come out, and I flash the BIOS when 'needed".

Other than that... I leave the drivers alone.
