Security News > 2021 > November > Microsoft: New Windows driver deployment service coming soon
Microsoft said that the new Windows Update for Business deployment service for drivers and firmware will be available in Microsoft Endpoint Manager and Microsoft Graph as a public preview starting with the first half of 2022.
This prevents the entire Windows driver catalog from being offered to endpoint users, with only those that receive the admins' approval being delivered instead. "Microsoft is excited to announce a new deployment service for driver and firmware updates, giving you visibility into the drivers hosted in Windows Update that are a match for your enterprise devices," the company said in March when it first announced the new service.
The hardware ecosystem constantly publishes new drivers and fixes to Windows Update.
The Windows Update service targets devices with the right drivers just for them.
Redmond will also provide management reporting for driver servicing capabilities when the new service reaches public preview.
Microsoft provides a Microsoft Ignite depth on-demand session for a closer look at the new driver deployment service for commercial organizations.
