i'd not install everything in optional updates just because it's there. if the machine's running fine, take the ones for a device that's actually misbehaving and leave the rest.

Windows Update, Advanced options, Optional updates - driver updates hide in there and that covers most of the machine. Graphics is the exception, take those from Nvidia's or AMD's own app because Windows runs a few versions behind. Device Manager saying the best driver is already installed isn't lying to you, it only checks Microsoft's own catalogue, which is why it tells everyone that. And leave the driver updater programs alone, they're mostly adware in a lab coat.
