Windows 10 2004 is offering optional updates for Intel drivers that are a confusing mess for users who attempt to install them.

During the Windows 10 2004 July 2020 updates, Microsoft enabled the optional updates experience, allowing users to select the optional drivers they wish to install.

This week, Microsoft began pushing out a confusing mess of Intel drivers that make it difficult to understand what should be installed.

After reading about this on WindowsLatest, I looked at my Optional Updates section and saw four different driver updates for supposedly the same 'Intel - System' device.

On this machine + a Bluetooth driver is offered as Optional Updates.
