After updating

Test the device, check Device Manager for warning symbols, and confirm the installed version only if an update was applied.

If the device works worse

Open Properties → Driver → Roll Back Driver when available. Otherwise use the restore point or reinstall the previous official package.

Stop when the device works correctly. A numerically newer driver is not automatically better for every computer or Windows build.
