Microsoft appears to have woken up and realized it may have left certain Windows Server and Windows 10 systems exposed to exploitable drivers for years. This month it emerged the list of vulnerable drivers HVCI was supposed to be blocking was wildly out of date on machines running certain pre-Windows 11 operating systems, such as some Windows 10 and Windows Server builds.
The feature update can be installed via Windows Update by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and clicking the "Check for updates" button. Customers using devices running Windows 10 20H2 or newer will have a fast installation experience as the Windows 10 2022 will install like a monthly update.
