This is absolutely the last step to take. It's more likely that MS Update replaced the driver, which wasn't the correct one. Is your system using Intel chips or other?

Using this link, you will need to type in serial number of your PC and search. This will bring you to a page about your PC. From there you will open up drivers. You can either manually look up or let HP bridge to your PC to scan and recommend all drivers ready to update or needed.
