    Is there a worthwhile Dell driver update utility for Windows 10?

    I think I installed a "Dell Driver Update Utility" and it never notified me of any driver updates for my AW15 R2, even though I saw some on the support site. Just checking, would be nice to have.

    I think the saying "If you want something done properly, do it yourself" applies here :D !!

    You should get only strictly necessary updated. To keep the latest video driver it's always recommended to do a manual install or keep GeForce Experience up.
