When will users learn to upgrade their drivers properly?

EDIT: For everybody who thinks this should be easy, what's the latest version of the NVIDIA drivers on Windows Update? Is it not "version 257.21 or newer"?

To be fair, I think the better question is when will driver vendors learn to have their drivers update automatically? Checking to see if your drivers are up-to-date and installing new ones is a tedious process, and I shouldn't have to do it just to have a usable machine.

The complaint isn't that Chrome and Firefox don't work.

Yet another technical step that users should learn to do? Computers should work for users, not users for computers. When will operating system manufacturers learn to not make users think (about things they shouldn't have to care about).

As long as users don't explicitly disable windows update, I think this should work fine in the background.
