Drivers are optional updates and can be disabled or not used? Or are you using Home? I have always used windows professional since XP so maybe home doesn’t offer if, but drivers are listed under advanced/optional updates and I have the system set to NOT download from windows update unless I tell it to, which is generally ok for like Bluetooth drivers from Intel which are basic anyway.
USB-C can deliver up to 240w… that should be enough to power any laptop.
