Microsoft is making changes to driver updates that may cause issues with plug-and-play. From next week, devices that don’t have automatic drivers won’t work unless users manually download the drivers.
Earlier this year, Microsoft updated the Windows Update page to separate quality updates and optional/driver updates. This moved the optional and driver updates to a new location and allowed users to independently search for driver updates without using the Device Manager. Now, Microsoft is making another change to how the company delivers manual driver updates to Windows 10 users. Starting from November 5, Windows 10 users will see a clear distinction between automatic and manual updates in Windows Update.
