This is how Microsoft plans to solve problems with incorrect driver updates for some computers
Table of contents:
Some of the recent issues with certain Microsoft updates to Windows 10 have been related to the drivers they include. Users receive versions that are not compatible with any of the installed components or they are not installed correctly and errors start there.
The American company is already aware of the problem and may have prepared a solution to put an end to it A failure that it also has to do with OEMs who normally work with Microsoft by having Windows 10 as the operating system for their computers.
New procedure
It seems that Microsoft is working on a solution that seeks that users do not receive an update that is incompatible with computers that have Windows 10 A remedy that is echoed in DR Windows) and that is reflected in an internal Microsoft document.
Currently, when a driver incompatibility with Windows 10 is detected, the update to the new version of Windows 10 is blocked and reports to the affected OEM of the driver incompatibility.
Some of the companies that traditionally work with Microsoft like Dell, Lenovo, HP, have asked Microsoft to carry out another procedure. In this case and unlike the previous one, it is the OEM partners who can request the blocking to prevent the drivers from reaching Windows Update.From then on Windows Update will not offer the problematic update if the device uses unsupported drivers.
This is a temporary block, as the moment the problem is fixed, the update will be available again for the operating system of each device. In fact, the document announces that this block can be requested for a period of up to 60 days.
A step forward in this problem, because now it is Microsoft who stops the update but after the fact, when the incompatibility has already been detected of controllers. Another possibility to avoid problems is perhaps more drastic and involves disabling automatic driver updates in Windows 10.
