Product: HP ENVY 16 inch Laptop PC 16-h1000 (754G1AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

HP Firmware Driver Update 15.26.0.0 is listed as an optional update in Windows Settings. I would like to know what's in the update to help me decide whether to install it. But I have not been able to find release notes on HP's website, or through a Google search. Can anyone please tell me how I can find out the details of the update?

By the way, I hope I've posted this question to the right forum. I chose the "Notebook" forum, because I did not see a "Laptop" forum. HP itself identifies my system as a laptop, not a notebook.
