One of the long-standing issues with Windows 10 is the automatic driver updates, after which the system may show a 'blue screen', fail to boot, and so on. The frequent cause is incompatible drivers, which is why Microsoft often has to address the repercussions, blocking the installation of a new version of Windows 10.
Now, the course of action will change. According to an internal document, Microsoft its partners, including Intel, HP, Dell, and Lenovo, with specially crafted patches without altering unsupported drivers. In simpler terms, if certain hardware requires an older driver, it will not be forcibly updated along with the OS components or in the patches.
According to the company, the device will operate with old drivers until the corresponding service update is released. This will help avoid a range of issues, including 'blue screens of death' and more.
Additionally, Microsoft is working on another change. According to this, drivers will not be updated one day before and after the monthly Tuesday Patch, as well as two days before and after system component updates. Perhaps this will really improve the performance of 'ten'? Who knows.
