Anyone who's into gaming probably has GeForce Experience installed, which manages drivers and gives notifications.

I want to say Microsoft will push them out a little later, but I can't be entirely sure since I've always used the nVidia path.

EDIT: Unfortunately the GeForce Experience is getting, as is typical, super invasive. Access to even basic settings requires an account (nVidia or Facebook account, etc).

Recently removed GeForce Experience. Graphics drivers should not require an account.

Considering that computer configuration is unique enough to enable fingerprinting across different browsers, I can't even see why it's required.

At least Experience tells you it's being creepy so you can remove it.

notifications for new drivers are nice, but I'll get around to updating them anyway without notifications. Geforce Experience is terrible. The more invasive it gets, the less I want it installed.
