My virus scanner (ESET Endpoint Security) tells me that Windows has recommended updates for me. But if I try to search for them via Windows Update, it tells me that everything is up to date. (Installation mode is 'automatic' and 'Updates for other Microsoft products' is checked. Device installation settings are set to 'Yes (recommended)') .
With Boxstarter I can do updates via the command line, but if I try to install them I get the message Requires user input and will not be downloaded:
What are these updates for? How can I install them?
Best regards! Stefan
Click Start, then right-click My Computer (or Computer) and click Manage. In the Computer Management window, on the left, click Device Manager. Click the + sign in front of the device category for which you wish to install the driver. Right-click the device, and select Update Driver. The Hardware Update Wizard opens. The memory controller also handles another complicated chore, and that is allowing other devices such as a LCD driver chip to have access to the DRAM if the CPU is not demanding access. This priority tree built into the DRAM controller allows several devices besides the CPU to ' have their turn ' to access the DRAM.

This is a known issue with ESET (which is a fantastic product) on Windows 10. Maybe not quite a bug, but somewhat confusing. The 'updates' in your list above all appear to be not-so-important driver updates. My recommendation is to go into ESET and change the settings such that you're only notified by ESET if there're critical updates that you're missing, which there shouldn't be, since you have Windows Update configured to do its thing automatically.
To open the ESET console, click the notification area icons, click the arrow to show hidden icons if necessary, then click the ESET logo. Or search for ESET Nod32 Smart Security or ESET Nod32 Endpoint Antivirus or whatever exact product you have running.
- Open ESET, press F5 for advanced view.
- Tools -> [expand] Microsoft Windows Update
- Change notification level to something like Critical or Important. (A German to English translator leads me to believe you currently have the 'recommended' level selected.
But to really answer your last question, here's how to install the newest drivers if you want to:
- Device Manager
- View -> Show hidden devices
- Find the hardware which you want to update the driver(s) for. Right click it in the list, Update Driver Software
- Choose Search Automatically
--You also might be able to drill a bit deeper into the Windows Update settings to try to make these drivers install automatically. I'm not sure if Windows is trying to install them and they're failing, or if Windows is just skipping them due to low importance.
