I never automatically update anything. But when I do a manual update I
carefully read what it applies to and then do it.
Never had a problem. NVIDIA video driver is a classic example. I will say,
there are some I refuse to download and install.

One of the bad features of autoupdate is that it only provides you with
security updates. Never gives you an update for a driver for example. I
do my updates manually and on at least two occasions stopped a download
that should NOT have been presented.

I would never let MS update automatically update any driver for hardware.
Get the updates from the manufacturer of the equipment.
