SupportAssist not updating drivers
XPS 8950
On my Dell XPS 8950, Apparently I have 13 drivers that are out of date:
1. NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM)
2. KillerE3100g 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
3. Intel Innovation Platform Framework Processor Participant
4. ATA PLDS DVD+/-RW DU-8A5LW
5. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080
6. Realtek PCIE CardReader
7. Intel Wireless Bluetooth
8. Killer Wi-Fi 6E AX1675x 160MHz Wireless Network Adapter (210NGW)
9. Intel Management Engine Interface # 1
10. Realtek Audio
11. Intel Serial IO GPIO Host Controller - INTC 1056
12. Intel PEG10 - 460D
13. NVIDIA High Definition Audio
For some reason Dell Support Assist does not detect that these drivers are out of date and thus is not updating them. Should I just update these drivers manually?

It's more or less depending on users preference. Since you like to keep your system drivers up-to-date and have already done the research of identifying the list of drivers, go ahead with the update. I don't see any reason not to perform the update manually.

@the bbdude - Make sure you look for new drivers by entering your Service Tag on the support page and then selecting the right version of Windows before you download anything.
Just because new drivers are listed, doesn't necessarily mean they're for your specific hardware.
