I apologize; I overstated a bit.

Microsoft does supply generic drivers for hardware that's generally found in all Windows computers. These drivers are 'built-in to Windows. Hard disk drives and optical disk drives, for example, use Microsoft drivers. The generic VGA video driver, which typically is used in Safe Mode or when no device-specific driver can be found, is another example of a Microsoft driver.

Similarly, Microsoft supplies a generic keyboard driver and a generic mouse driver. If, for example, you have a mouse that has extra features, e.g., more buttons than the standard left, right, center, and scroll wheel, you would have to install the device-specific driver from the mouse manufacturer in order to use the extra features -- but if you didn't install that driver, Windows would use the generic Microsoft driver and the mouse would function as a basic mouse.

To the extent that Microsoft updates such drivers, it would do so in the context of a Windows Update, and there is no easy way to search for such an update. If you've kept your system current, you have the latest drivers for these generic devices that Microsoft has.

A 'PCI standard host CPU bridge' almost certainly falls within the same category as hard drives, keyboards, and other such common hardware. An 'HD Audio Controller' might have a non-Microsoft device-specific driver if you can identify the hardware manufacturer. In Device Manager, double-click to open the device's properties, select the 'Details' tab, and select 'Hardware Ids' from the drop-down list. Then look up the 'PCI VEN DEV' number either by direct Google search or by using one of the PCI VEN DEV databases --

Having said all of that, here's my advice: ignore the scan from AVG Driver Updater. The golden rules for driver updates are:

1. Don't update a driver unless you know that the newer version fixes a specific problem that you have or adds a new feature that you must (or want to) have.
2. If you do update a driver get it from the following places only (in order of preference):
   1. Your computer's manufacturer (especially for laptops)
   2. The hardware device's manufacturer
   3. Microsoft Update
3. Never get a driver from one of the numerous 'driver update' sites to be found on the Internet. These drivers are likely to be (a) not appropriate for your system, (b) not the most recent version, (c) infested with malware, or (d) some combination of a, b, and c.
