I can say that Windows Update has listed updates for some of my video cards over the years. I can't recall all the exact devices as it's been a while.
I can also say that I am currently using the built in Intel CPU (i5 & i7 cpus) graphics on two PCs and I get notifications from Windows Update for new drivers for these. They are in the 'Optional' update category below the 'Important' ones, but they still come from Windows Update and Intel is 3rd party. I have not yet tried communicating with my Rev L TIU from Win 10.

I haven't been online lately -- been doing some system upgrades and testing.
A few hours ago, I verified the Rev. L TIU drivers are downloaded from the MS update servers when using MS Windows 10.
I also verified it works for Win XP Pro ver. 2002 SP3 32 bit and Win 7 Pro SP1 64 bit.
I'm in the process of verifying it works for Win 8 or 8.1 and I'm still trying to understand why it fails for Win 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit.
I sure would like for someone "out there" to perform a test for me on their PC if it is
Win 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit.
The test would consist of first uninstalling the ftdibus.sys and ftser2k.sys drivers by using the uninstall feature within the device manager and be sure to check the box that says to delete the drivers.
The next step is to plug in the TIU into the USB port on the PC and see if the drivers get loaded!
If I can't find a volunteer, I setup a machine for that purpose and report what happens.
I'm wondering if it might be the case that this problem only occurs with the particular version of Windows I mentioned above (Win7 HP SP1 64 bit).
I also sent an email to the FTDI chip manufacturer's US office (to the support folks) asking if they have heard of anything like this. They have an Application Note (AN_119) on their website dealing with the issue of their drivers in Windows 7, but after reading the note, I wasn't able to see anything that helped me.
More to follow ...

The PC I use to update my MTH items is Win 7, Home Prem. 64bit, SP1 (the one I was talking about above). However, it is pretty old, has had Win 7 on it for a very long time and has had a LOT of things installed on it over the years. I got Win 7 fairly early on, when MS had the special 3 user versions for around $100 or something like that. That is why I said I didn't know where the drivers came from? This thing has been scheduled for a free Win 10 upgrade since right after 10 was released. For some reason it's still waiting? It spends most of it's time powered off, maybe that has something to do with it?
