    When I performed a clean install I made sure to disable driver installation from Windows Update but when I checked for updates for the first time it asks me to install a Intel HD Graphics driver and a Logitech USB Input Device (Download Assistant) from Windows Update's optional tab. Should I ignore those or install? I have installed all latest drivers from Dell.

    I always find these to be a problem. Windows update tried to update a driver for my LAN ports (desktop) and it turned out to be older than the one I put on from the Asus website!

    As a rule of thumb I generally stick to the computers manufacturer or the part manufacturers websites.

    Yeah, I skipped those and use Dell's and I have no issues with it.
