Due to random freezing and some unsolvable issue with Hyper-V, I decided to reformat Win10 with a clean, stock MS Win10 image, left it overnight to auto installed some essential drivers such as GPU, sound card, and some Intel chipset drivers.
Now basically the essential drivers are installed, minus the HP OEM apps like HP 3D Drive guard, HP support assistant, still thinking whether to install them or not. I kinda suspect these OEM software caused the Win10 system to freeze randomly
here comes the question, do you guys always get the drivers from device manager (download from MS), instead of going to laptop manufacturers website to download?
Not necessary to have those bloatware installed. When I receive new laptops I usually uninstall everything if I don't have a copy of windows with me. If I have it i will just reformat the whole thing to a blank slate.Now basically the essential drivers are installed, minus the HP OEM apps like HP 3D Drive guard, HP support assistant, still thinking whether to install them or not.

Some of those bloatware are useful though. Not sure what HP has but Lenovo used to have a battery manager that has some functions which are really hard to find now.
Summary, don't bother with bloatware. If it is something you install and never think of touching, its useless to you.
