    I just noticed this happening the other day.

    When i close the lid on the lappy whilst on battery, it goes to sleep as it should. When i open the lid again, i see a message saying installing device drivers....searching windows update and then the message saying device drivers installed / ready to use.

    This is in relation to HD Audio device.

    Anyone have this too? - i havent uninstalled it at all and it seems odd to have to reinstall itself everytime and its annoying me LOL
