Never had that happen though. Ever. WHQL drivers in Windows repos are usually bulletproof which is why they're usually a bit older. It's only when you go and manually install other non-WHQL drivers, that you might run into issues from the lack of testing.
Not saying it couldn't have ever happened to you or anyone else an account of the millions of permutations of possible hardware combinations, but in my experience I never had driver issues from auto-updates since Windows 7 on a variety of desktops and laptops.
Having drivers for my hardware broken/corrupted because Windows thinks it knows better, is another.
Having to download a third party program to clean up said driver mess before/after I can update any of my components, is another.
