Just a heads up. Was playing a game when it crashed and Reliability History showed the culprit was a forced graphics driver update. Which is unusual because I last updated around a month ago, so not that long ago. Searching for news about this brought up mentions from others about it too, and another OcUK forum member had issues with his SLI and custom BIOS setup after the same forced update. So if graphics issues are experienced, seeing if they coincide with a forced graphics driver udpate (it won't tell you it happened unless you check for it) is one thing to investigate.
Windows 10 force updating graphics drivers recently, can cause problems

I knew Windows 10 would do this if the driver was very out of date. What you recommend is what I'd been doing for a couple of years, and all had been good. But I know I updated only a month ago, and yet it force updated soon after. Looks like updating will be required as soon as a new driver comes out, at this rate.
I think it is totally irresponsible to not only push but perform the update in the middle of whatever you're doing, even playing a game with GPU maxed out. I can't imagine that is 100% safe for the health of the GPU, and wouldn't be surprised if it caused damage to some.
