Re: Toshiba Satellite A200-1VP

Is the laptop by any chance running Windows 8 or 8.1?

I had this type of thing popping up on my pc saying, that a chipset, usb, management engine, and graphics driver update was available.

Checked to see what they were saying to download and they were all older drivers than were installed.

I am a stickler for keeping my drivers up to date so I was quite surprised when it said they were out of date.

It turns out that, Microsoft seems to treat all hardware in Windows 8 or 8.1 as generic and all being able to be updated by the same driver.

I have now turned off the messages about drivers and updates etc as it was just getting to annoying.
