Hi Eddy! If possible I like to automate the updating process for all software programs such as
drivers, ccleaner, avast, mbam, etc.
I have run ccleaner which lists my current programs. [see attachment]
Best, Hermie
A bit of advice, leave driver updates well alone unless you are having issues with the driver. As they say if it isn't broken don't try to fix it.
The avast software updater monitors programs that are at risk should they become outdated, generally these are programs with an internet presence, browsers, email programs, etc. and those popular programs most likely to attack.
Outside of that there shouldn't be too many programs requiring immediate update. Monitor the >>> UPDATE <<< topic in the General forum

For the most part I don't allow programs to automatically update, just notify. I have never sought to automate the update process as I like to be in control of my system. There are services that you can subscribe to that will 'Notify' of updates and then you choose what to update and what not.
