Yeah,another driver.Remember this is Radeon Technologies Group,not Ati.
About Secure Boot:
http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-secure-boot-key-debacle-causes-security-panic/
"Microsoft has accidentally leaked the keys to the kingdom, permitting attackers to unlock devices protected by Secure Boot - and it may not be possible to fully resolve the leak.
The design flaw in the Windows operating system can be used to unlock Windows devices, including smartphones and tablets, which are otherwise protected by Secure Boot in order to run operating systems other than Windows on locked down systems."
They release this:
A Microsoft spokesperson told ZDNet:
"The jailbreak technique described in the researchers' report on August 10 does not apply to desktop or enterprise PC systems. It requires physical access and administrator rights to ARM and RT devices and does not compromise encryption protections."
But I dont trusted them Anymore.
Btw Microsoft extends again support for Windows 7, 8.1 Skylake-based devices.

Two topics?
Well it is a important driver update as it fixes the secure boot mess with Win10 RS1 I suppose.
(And some other small fixes and support for No Mans Sky and the Paragon beta.)
