I am not doing anything special and Windows is not updating or even attempting to update any drivers so no idea why anyone else's system would be.The only thing that ever happens is the Nvidia app telling me there is a new driver but nothing is automatic update other than Windows security updates.GPU drivers have always been just some simple additions for newer games but if playing anything older than a year or two you likely won't need any updates to your gpu.
I have never heard of Micro center no such store near my city.
So doing a little Google search i see that MC is USA only so nothing up here in the great white north.

God, people are so willing to complicate their lives with unnecessary programs even for the most basic things...
You disabled the system's ability to install drivers by itself, and yet you install a program which does the same thing as windows driver manager...- I wouldn't be surprised if you released a video of a program that increases RAM...
Instead of making an unproven claim that windows does something in your opinion incorrectly -optimally-, you could make a more honest video. For example: Look here, I have a device, Windows couldn't find drivers for it, I'll give you a program that will find them.

Now if MS would just keep its fingers out of GPU control panels. They keep updating mine on my laptop and breaking it. I keep downloading the latest one from AMD, and it's broken again in days... The driver itself isn't being updated, but the control panel gets whacked. Funny thing though, its so proud of itself that it creates a notification saying that it installed the latest one and that I should check it out... And I think to myself, you just broke my stuff again and you're bragging about it? Thanks MS for being so dang helpful!

The thing is no matter what I disabled windows kept updating my GPU driver on my laptop. Well yeah, updating. Always downloaded a 1y/o version of it. Since I went to Linux no problems at all. Running mint on my laptop for basic office stuff and everything is fine. The problem with the windows driver was the colour output was so weird sometimes and it always installed the lite version so you could not change anything in the settings. When you installed the propper version it just went and removed it again.

Just a reminder - don't fix things if they are not broken!
I gave it a go, despite not having problems, and the program succesfuly bricked my laptop keyboard. I had to use System Restore.
Also, the automatic restore point created by the program didn't fix the missing keyboard. Always make MANUAL restore point before playing with drivers!

I remember you were quite impressed by the automatic windows 11 driver install done by Microsoft on a fresh installation. Thx for the update on your thoughts going forward, and this quality vid: There are an awful lot of very bad quality vids on Windows Drivers. They lack the practical detail and experience that you share.

Hey man i watched your video about nvcleanstall, but every time i instaled those drivers the dynamic boost 2.0 would be disabled and the gpu would use 80W out of 130W maximum (im using a laptop with rtx 3060). Is there a way to fix this because it really has a big impact on performance?
