    Maybe it knows that there's a conflict or something of that order, or that you have a newer one already installed, and hence it's not installing.

    Do you get an error code?

    Do you get a "Windows Update error 80070103" ?

    Then your existing driver might be newer and already be up to date. So you will get a failure message.
    (Click on the link "Get help with this error" when you get the failure message.)

    Just ignore the update. It won't affect your system.
