I’ve been wondering this for years. I remember some years ago I was wondering why in the world an audio driver needs to be 500 MB big. Now we’re almost at 1 GB.

What gives?

    Look for them on https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Home.aspx in the search box using the ID string like (example) you find in the driver details

    PCI\VEN_1414&DEV_00E0&SUBSYS_00000000&REV_04

    and you will find the latest WHQL drivers, and in general just what’s needed to use your device and not all kind of bloatware/software that you’ll never use.
