Norton is continually sending me messages that my Realtek drivers are out of date and they may be causing performance issues.   I cannot find anything on the HP about Realtek being out of date.   Should I mess with the Realtek drivers without using HP by updating them directly from the Realtek website?

What Realtek drivers are you referring to?

 

There's Realtek audio, Realtek ethernet, Realtek Wi-Fi and Realtek Bluetooth.

 

You will not find the latest Realtek Wi-Fi drivers from the Realtek website, and the audio drivers would be older than what you have installed now.

 

The only drivers you can update from the Realtek site would be the ethernet drivers.
