I just don’t agree with the “NEVER install Microsoft drivers.”, and “Block driver updates.” It is nice when the manufacturer provides an update tool for such purposes though such as Dell Command update, or any such service for a motherboard vendor. Most blue screens these days from from bad RAM or from bad power supplies. Although what you suggest is a better method than using these optional updates though it is nice that Microsoft provides this as an alternative though it can be a bit confusing to someone who doesn’t understand this concept anyways. This recent change with optional drivers are for those who experience issues with current drivers as an alternate quick fix. The article provided here is really just reflecting the recent change in updates. 10-15 years ago I would have given the same advice as you posted. Microsoft since 64bit WHQL driver signing which is essentially Windows 7 going forward Microsoft driver updates via Windows Update have been overall quite good and a lot easier on the average consumer computer user and also helps the average computer user from trying to accidentally update the wrong driver for the hardware version then trying to force them because the user got it wrong, not Windows. This is not really the case in 2020, while you are correct in the best drivers available are from the OEM.
