I just finished building a new system (specs included in My Computer below) and got Win 11 Home installed. When Windows update runs it launches MSI Driver Utility Installer that wants to update/load a multitude of things. I'd prefer not to put a bunch of unnecessary stuff on a new system so looking for advice on what can/should be omitted. I've bolded the items I think are probably required and the items in blue are the ones I need the most help with.
- Intel Chipset Driver
- Intel SVGA Drivers (assume I don't need this because I have a video card)
- Intel WIFI Driver
- BlueTooth Driver
- Intel Network Drivers
- Realtek HD Universal Driver (is this necessary or just let Windows find an audio driver?)
- Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver (does this benefit anything other than RAID?)
- Intel Management Engine Driver (suspect I don't need this)
- Intel GNA Scoring Accelerator (suspect I don't need this)
- Intel Serial IO Drivers (suspect I don't need this)
- Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (seems like an unnecessary utility)
- MSI Center (seems like an unnecessary utility)
- CPU-Z MSI GAMING (seems like an unnecessary utility)
- AIDA64 Extreme - MSI Edition (seems like an unnecessary utility)
- Realtek Audio Control (seems like an unnecessary utility)
- Windows Build/Version
- Windows 11 Home
