Do graphics drivers from Windows Update have Asus customization?

[lmacmil2]

Where do the drivers I receive for my B760M A-D4 from Windows update come from?  Are they Intel generic drivers or does Asus do any customization?

From Dec 2023 until Aug 2024, I never got an updated graphics driver from Windows update.  Since August I have gotten 3.  The last  one is 6129 dated 10-18-2024 and Intel Driver and Support Assistant tells me I'm up to date.  Since I don't play games or do any video intensive work, I never notice any difference in performance between the Intel generic drivers and the ones from the Asus website.  I do like to stay current with drivers though.

I found an older post in which Asus responded that they do some compatibility and stability testing of the generic Intel driver before putting it on their website.  I would infer from that response that there is not customization per se of the generic Intel driver.  I have never had any issues with the Intel generic drivers that came from Intel rather than Asus so I guess my question has been answered.

Hello @lmacmil2 

Thank you for reaching out to us.
Windows regularly release driver updates. However, as you noted in your follow-up, the driver versions available on the ASUS official website are thoroughly tested by ASUS for stability and compatibility. 
Based on this, we recommend prioritizing the versions provided on the official ASUS website.

Thank you.
