so I have a gigabyte motherboard (B360 aorus) and  when i launched my computer today i got a pop up from window saying that two of my drivers were know to be vulnerability, so i did a little searching and found out that they were gigabyte related drivers and that i could update them by using the gygabite app center so I did and did the updates of all the app while I was at it,  but then i saw a ton of articles saying to not use any gigabyte app because it's trash.etc  so first of all i wanted to know is it true that i shouldn't use their apps , second of all is it ok to download the drivers or should i go back, and last of all since I dont use all these apps can i uninstall everything or is there some important apps in there that i shouldn't touch?

I don't use any of Gigabyte apps. The couple times I've needed one I've installed it long enough to make a change and immediately removed it afterwards.  In general don't install "unecessary bloatware" on your PC. If it's not something you are actually using, it shouldn't be there. You can install drivers without that stuff.

No.  Everything there can be done manually or with another app.  Most are just shortcuts or automating services.

 

I don't use any either.
