Okay so uh, I tried this tool. It seemed awesome. Except out of the 30ish drivers it installed, several of them were entirely wrong and not needed, to the point that they made boot up hang as multiple drivers waiting on each other crashed and failed and windows finally killed them.
It didn't even install the missing/incorrect driver! Asus's nagware that got autoinstalled by windows update managed to install the correct one, which is insane because I feel like I installed 5 different versions of the exact driver Asus asked to install while troubleshooting and there was zero sound each time. WTF.
Anyway, that app is way too aggressive. It's just throwing Hardware IDs against some list and installing whatever it finds and that's not how Hardware IDs can work in practice.
