use snappy driver installer origin and it will find all drivers based on hardware IDs. it rarely misses https://www.glenn.delahoy.com/snappy-driver-installer-origin...
I've used this on our fresh windows installs for years

I know this because I had a PC where Microsoft insisted on installing a broken GPU driver that left me with nothing but a black screen. I had to install windows on that PC with it disconnected from the internet because if Windows Update merely got wind of the driver existing it would insist on downloading and installing it even after disabling driver updates.
It seems like the disable option is hidden in the advanced tab of the ancient computer properties dialog, I can't remember seeing it in the mess of new settings menus but those change all the time so I don't really bother learning them anyway.
As annoying as I think it is that they let the hardware manufacturers include software like that in the bundles uploaded to Windows Update, I wouldn't be surprised if they're actually offering the experience most people expect (the software is a part of the product's whole feature set after all).
It didn't even install the missing/incorrect driver! Asus's nagware that got autoinstalled by windows update managed to install the correct one, which is insane because I feel like I installed 5 different versions of the exact driver Asus asked to install while troubleshooting and there was zero sound each time. WTF.
Anyway, that app is way too aggressive. It's just throwing Hardware IDs against some list and installing whatever it finds and that's not how Hardware IDs can work in practice.
