Best driver update programs/websites for Server 2016
What are the best driver update programs/websites for Server 2016 and Server 2012?
I support a lot of generic, non name brand servers that run Server 2012, Server 2012 R2, and Server 2016 and am always interested in loading the latest drivers on these servers.
I have found that the Driver Booster website doesn't update all of the drivers that can be updated.
So what are the best driver update programs, utilities, and websites for Server 2016? Are there any free solutions for doing these updates?

the best tool is yourself
go to the manufacturer of the hardware's site, and update the drivers manually
i found every "auto" update soft lacking in one or more options

If it is working, there is no reason to fiddle with it unless there is a known problem that affects this specific system.
Contrariwise, if you fiddle with it and play with critical things like drivers and BIOS, there is a good chance that something will break and it will be non-trivial to get the system back into a working state. This is unacceptable on a server and does not please the people who sign your paycheck.
