It's probably windows update. It installs drivers for hardware that doesn't have newer versions of signed drivers already installed.
They improved the driver detection on Windows 10 which actually makes it really simple to setup new machines with it.

Windows 10 automatically installs drivers. It should be turned off otherwise it will rewrite drivers you actually want, e.g. video card drivers, with a version that has Microsoft's blessing.

Its pulling shit from the uefi, same thing happened to me. Installed generic drivers suddenly have gigabyte logo on drivers.

realtek HD audio is the standard audiological interface that ships with alot of newer windows machines. You didn't get a notice because it's been there since the beginning, more than likely.

This has been a thing since Vista.
Underage pls go.

Next time disable automatic driver installation if you get confused by it.

No. You're thinking of plug and play.

I mean, really. Most people expect their earbuds to work when they plug them into their computer
