Programs and drivers missing after Windows reinstall

Hello. I have an Asus ROG Strix GL503 laptop, recently I have decided to perform a clean Windows installation on it. Halfway through it got into a boot loop, so I had to install Windows from a USB stick, which meant that all ASUS programs and other various drivers were going to get deleted.

These manufacturer's programs and drivers were on my laptop before the reinstall:
Intel PROSet/Wireless
ASUS Device Activation
ASUS GIFTBOX
ASUS Live Update
ASUS PTP Driver
Asus Sonic Radar 3
ASUS Splendid Video Enhancment Technology
ASUS USB Charger Plus
ATK Package (ASUS Keyboard Hotkeys)
Device Setup
GameFirst IV
Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth
Intel serial IO
MyASUS-Service Center
NVIDIA GeForce Experience 3.18.0.102
NVIDIA Driver 3D Vision 426.00
NVIDIA Graphics drivers 426.00
NVIDIA System software PhysX 9.19.0218
OpenAL
Intel graphics driver
Realtek Card Reader
Realtek Ethernet Controller Driver
Realtek High Definition Audio Driver
ROF Aura Core
ROG Gaming Center
Intel Management Engine Interface

These are the programs showing up after the reinstall (they have been downloaded automatically):
Intel Graphics Command Center
NVIDIA 3D Vision Driver 399.24
NVIDIA Graphics Driver 399.24
Realtek Card Reader
Realtek High Definition Audio Driver

I tested all important things (Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, gaming and so on) and everything seems to be working properly. My question is, are there any essential or very useful programs or drivers missing from the list which I really should install? Or can I just keep using my laptop since all important parts seem to be working well?

I would update everything from the driver manufacturer's website (Intel, NVidia, ETC). Also, make sure you get the Intel Serial IO driver from the PC/Laptop support page as that allows trackpad support. Also, get the Intel Management Engine Interface from the PC/Laptop support page as well. Lastly, see if you can get the updated Realtek audio driver from these forums.

Thanks, will check it out.
