Manage Windows Driver Updates with Intune: A Complete Guide

In this article, we will explore how to manage Windows driver updates with Intune. Microsoft Intune can help you create, deploy, and manage Windows Driver update policies for your Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices.

Until now, most organizations had to rely on third-party tools to distribute driver updates for Windows devices in Intune. Microsoft has finally come up with a solution to deploy Windows driver updates and firmware updates using Intune with a proper procedure.

Windows driver update policies in Intune allow you to view the list of available driver updates that are applicable to the devices targeted by the policy, approve updates for deployment, or pause the deployment of individual updates. When driver updates are approved, Intune sends the assignments to Windows Update, which manages the update installation on devices based on the policy configuration.

Microsoft has launched policies and reports for managing Windows driver and firmware updates in Microsoft Intune. In two ways, this new Intune feature makes it easier to keep drivers on your Windows devices up-to-date. To begin, you will no longer be required to perform the manual tasks of downloading, repackaging, and deploying drivers using generic tools. Instead, you can use the Windows Update for Business deployment service’s driver update management settings and reports.

This step-by-step guide aims to assist you with all the required steps to manage driver updates with Intune for your organization. If you are planning to deploy firmware updates and driver updates with Intune, this enterprise deployment guide is for you.

Benefits of deploying Windows Driver updates using Intune


As per the announcement by Microsoft, these new capabilities are part of the Intune Windows Enterprise offerings. The following are the advantages of using Intune to deploy Windows driver updates:


  • Intelligent servicing helps identify which driver updates are available for devices in the policy.
  • Options to choose whether you want to deploy driver updates automatically or manually approve the updates and then target them to Windows devices.
  • You can rely on trusted quality thanks to prior certification and validation by numerous device manufacturers.
  • Intune offers more granular controls that allow you to pause the deployment of a particular driver. You can also resume the driver update deployment on demand.
  • In addition to the recommended updates, optional drivers and firmware are available.
  • Detailed reporting is built into Intune to help you monitor device status, alerts, and recommendations for remediation.
  • Windows Autopatch automatically creates driver policies that allow you to roll out drivers and firmware across your deployment rings (unless you opt out of the service), with more granular controls coming later this year. Driver Updates aren’t supported during autopilot at this time.


Windows Driver Update Management Architecture


The below architecture diagram by Microsoft will help organizations that are planning to utilize Intune to manage Windows driver updates for their devices.


Here are some key points about the Windows driver update management architecture diagram shown above:


  • Microsoft Intune (MDM) provides the Azure Active Directory IDs and Intune policy settings for devices to WUfB-DS. Intune also provides a list of driver approvals and pause commands to WUfB-DS.
  • Based on the data provided by Intune, WUfB-DS configures Windows Updates. Windows Updates provides the applicable driver update inventory per device ID.
  • Firmware updates published in WU do not require the BIOS/UEFI to be unlocked.
  • Devices send data to Microsoft so that Windows Update can identify the applicable driver updates for a device during its regular Windows Update scans for updates. Any approved updates install on the device.
  • WUfB-DS reports Windows diagnostic data back to Intune for reports.

Turn on Location Redirection for Windows 365 Cloud PC

In this article, we will demonstrate how you can turn on location redirection for Windows 365 Cloud PC. The location redirection feature lets Cloud PCs access your approximate location safely without privacy concerns. Users can turn on Location redirection so that their Cloud PCs use their correct geographic location. By turning on the location service, you let your Cloud PC use the location of your physical device for most apps. Because the Cloud PC relies on your physical device for location information, you must first enable location redirection on your physical device and then on the Cloud PC. Enabling location redirection requires local admin privileges on the Cloud PC. There are multiple ways to connect to and access your Cloud PCs. However, the location redirection feature is only available when connecting to the Cloud PC via a web browser. Other methods, such as the remote desktop client and the Windows 365 app, do not support enabling location direction for Cloud PCs yet. Micr
