Microsoft will improve driver updates phase in Windows 10
Users using Windows 10 should know that some strange problems are caused by the driver. Microsoft will push to install new drivers through system updates.
In the forthcoming Windows 10 Version 2004, Microsoft has improved to allow users to fine-tune the driver in optional updates. However, the manufacturer’s help is needed to solve the driver compatibility problem more thoroughly. After all, these drivers are developed by the manufacturer and not by Microsoft.
Internal Microsoft documents obtained by windowslatest indicate that the company is currently improving its driver update strategy, allowing manufacturers to block specific drivers to prevent pushes.
When a manufacturer finds a problem with a certain version of the driver, it can immediately report it to Microsoft and prevent Microsoft from pushing these drivers through a system update.
In this way, the problematic driver will not reach the user terminal to reduce the abnormal problem, and it is not necessary for Microsoft to frequently publish the description of the compatibility problem caused by the driver.
Drivers released by different manufacturers may only be applicable to specific devices, so users with different hardware will receive different driver updates.
Microsoft said that this measure will help reduce the blue screen of death, driver crash, data loss and security issues caused by the driver in Windows 10 systems.
Another measure is that Microsoft has decided to suspend push drivers for two days before and after the cumulative update is released to prevent compatibility issues between the driver and the cumulative update.
Manufacturers can perform compatibility tests immediately after the monthly cumulative update is released, and if they complete the test within two days, they can ask Microsoft to block if there is a problem.
Of course, it can be seen from these measures that Microsoft must be aware of the various problems caused by the driver. These problems have existed since the release of Windows 10.
