I do my updates every couple of weeks. When an update is released there is normally an update to the update a week to 10 days later to resolve any issue reported by the original update, so your not really missing anything. And I get to do it when I’m not Blendering and slowing down my computer. With the GPU you are best checking manually because Windows updates will only give you basic drivers. My GPU is an AMD, I have to update the standard drivers plus install pro drivers to use Blender.
