Welcome to HP Community

Please provide me with the complete Notebook Model or the Product Number and I will check if there are any latest drivers available for your Notebook

You can refer to this Link: hp.care/2bygf7l for help in locating the Product Number.

As per the HP Website, the latest drivers date back to 2016 which means HP has not released any drivers for your Notebook recently since it's not needed

Moreover Windows 10 updates will take care of updating most of the drivers if required

There is a BIOS update available for your Notebook. Link: https://support.hp.com/ca-en/drivers/selfservice/swdetails/hp-envy-17-s100-notebook-pc/12499196/mode...

Hmmm so its ok to have 2016 drivers? Well quite a few are the 2006 version, like my firmware driver is 10.0.17134.1, 21-Jun-06. I take 06 to mean 2006. BTW that driver is running many devices.  But somehow my Nvidia updates its drivers regularly.

HP and Microsoft will only release updates if the Notebook requires latest drivers.

Please click this Link: https://support.hp.com/ca-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-envy-17-s100-notebook-pc/12499196/model/12780775 and check out the latest drivers. You do have certain drivers from 2017 and  2018. None of the drivers are from 2006. The latest Firmware update on the Website is from Jul 24, 2018

Have you tried checking for updates in Device Manager?

If not, try these steps:

1) Right-click the Start Manu button. Click on Device Manager.

2) Open the relevant drop-downs. Right click a driver and click Update driver.

3) Click on the option to automatically search for updates.

4) Repeat for any other drivers on your computer, particually those you think are outdated.

I hope this helps.
