I really don't know how Windows' automatic upgrades work, but I would be baffled if an UART driver was updated on-the-fly while it's being used.

If I receive constant 1Mbps stream, the PLL doesn't even have time to stop/start? Or drivers are supposed to handle upgrade hand-off? Sounds crazy complicated, and I don't see the point of such a feature

Even if a reboot is involved, we're talking systems in production hooked up to live equipment.
