You'd have to ask MS why KB970158 is a generic reference for driver updates

such driver updates without approval

Updated drivers supposedly correct known-problems & bugs. If you're not
having problems, do you really need the driver update?

Because your Automatic Updates setting says to install such driver updates
automatically.
