For Microsoft, they are using new methods to solve problems that may arise in Windows 10 driver updates. After all, drivers from Intel and other manufacturers caused endless trouble to Windows 10 users last year.
Now Microsoft has quietly announced a major improvement to driver updates on Windows 10. Specifically: Previously, all Windows 10 PCs automatically received major or minor driver updates through Windows Updates. The driver update was released to all users that day, but Microsoft is now switching to a new method.
Microsoft said that the driver update will be rolled out in a phased manner, meaning that the driver will be updated on highly active Windows 10 devices first before being rolled out to all users, as this helps to obtain targeted diagnostic data, especially in terms of compatibility.
Based on feedback after the update on highly active devices, Microsoft will approve or deny the wider rollout of Windows 10 driver updates. According to Microsoft, this approach ensures all consumers receive the highest quality updates. Microsoft expects to see fewer driver issues and faster performance on Windows 10 PCs in the coming months due to improved compatibility.
The short answer is that Microsoft has made driver updates for Win10 easier, reducing the chance of rollovers and ensuring that users can get the most stable and performant driver updates. This has always been a pain point for many novice users.
