Thank you for that information, it is best to never use any 3rd party utility to update your drivers, they install incompatible drivers and may cause your PC to crash to a blue screen, if you are not experiencing any problems with your hardware, you do not need to update your drivers, Windows will automatically keep your drivers up to date.
its saying that i have to pay for them and im js trying to stream and it says "if you are using the NVENC or AMD encoders, make sure your video drivers are up to date" if u can help, please do that would very be appreciated
1 - It's from Avast Driver Updater

Where are you seeing that outdated driver list, is that on some utility you have installed or on some website?
2
Are you experiencing any problems with your laptop indicating the hardware is not working correctly?

The best, most compatible drivers available for your laptop are available on the support page for your laptop, click your Start Button, then just type msinfo and press Enter, please provide a screenshot of the resulting System Information window.
