Useful info from (c) Microsoft:

You can have Windows automatically download recommended drivers and detailed information for your devices. This is a good way to make sure all your hardware works properly.

For Windows 10 hardware that you've connected to your computer in the past, updated drivers might become available at a later date; but those drivers aren't installed automatically. To install these optional updates, go to Windows 10 Update in Control Panel, check for updates, and then view and install driver updates that are available for your computer.

2.) What should I consider regarding drivers on Windows 10?

 
What should I consider regarding drivers on Windows 10?

If you don't encounter any issues with your drivers and you're using hardware that isn't older than three years, you can easily let Windows 10 handle the updates. If you do have hardware problems, you can deactivate driver updates. Original drivers are sometimes almost a necessity!

 Drivers are a crucial point that Windows 10 developers don't quite have under control!

 IMPORTANT:

When a major Windows update is rolled out in March/October 2020, it's entirely possible that you'll have to go through the whole process again.

 In reality, the major Windows 10 updates aren't merely updates; they're almost like a completely new operating system. I haven't managed to get through any of the Windows 10 updates without encountering issues, so all of my PCs (four in total) function without any problems.

Under no circumstances should you install software that promises to solve all your driver problems. There's no such thing as magic software for that. In the worst case scenario, this software installs adware and bombards you with advertisements (so stay away from:"update your drivers in 2 minutes," "Windows repair tool," "free download," and so on...).
