That's a very nice UI interface... very slick....
But one thing, I wish it showed what version of each thing you currently have so you know how much of an upgrade you are doing.
Only way you can doing it is by looking at release notes for current and previuos drivers and compare both. You are right, it is a pain in the arse and could be much easier, hopefully AMD will do something about it...

This might be a stupid question but can I use this with a B550A board?
Specifically I am running an Alienware Aurora R10 with a 3900X.
Dell just pushed a new chipset driver a couple of days ago but in the release note it states that it is only for Win10 pre 1909 versions and that the 1909 update covers it (Which I always thought Win10 included chipset drivers are just basic?)

Don't see anything available for B550 at the moment.

The v2.05.04.352 includes new B550 AGESA v2 firmware for 3000 series and up, not sure if
That one was for Asrock only, no idea why it’s version is so high. I checked the drivers,
v2.04.28.626
and v2.05.04.352 are identical except for the version number of the chipset driver itself. Pretty interesting.The v2.05.04.352 includes new B550 AGESA v2 firmware for 3000 series and up, not sure if
v2.04.28.626
includes it.

The MEI I suppose and whatever that little thing includes as a mix between hardware, bios firmware and software through the driver and install package.
Chipset driver itself should just be a nothing thing just a log file of what it did and it mostly does very little although it could have changed in newer devices compared to when it was just a bunch of INF files for device naming purposes.
Then there's the network driver which yeah it contains a bunch of stuff if installed in full ranging from helper software to power shell scripts if you don't just use the device driver.
Suppose on compatible systems you would also have the raid drivers and if these might include some control panel or otherwise and on compatible CPU models there's the iGPU driver which yeah same as AMD and NVIDIA you probably get a bunch of running services and processes that I assume can also be slimmed down with minimal loss of core functionality.
