Should I install "Optional Firmware 15.55.0.0" update?

[RBinPerson]

Windows Update gives me an "optional" update of Firmware 15.55.0.0.  The HP Support Assistant's "updates" tell me I'm all up to date. Should I install the optional Firmware from Windows Update?  (There HAVE been issues of Windows 10 freezing occasionally over the past few months. Have done all the requisite /scannow and chkdsk tasks to check for issues, and they have been corrected.)

Thanks for replying. Perhaps my question wasn't clear.  

I am all up to date with Windows Updates. No problems. However, under "Optional Updates" there is a section for Driver Updates, and beneath that is a link for "Firmware 15.55.0.0."  This is an Optional Update. Should I install it?  Do I need to?

Thanks,

RB
