Microsoft is adding a feature to Windows Update called Cloud-Initiated Driver Recovery.
The new feature will be able to automatically roll back faulty drivers to an older operating version without waiting for companies or users to fix the problem.
The way faulty drivers work today is that the hardware company is responsible for installing an updated driver and the end user is responsible for uninstalling the problematic driver.
This of course creates a gap where devices can remain with a low-quality driver for a long time.
With Cloud-Initiated Driver Recovery, Microsoft will be able to remotely trigger a rollback of a faulty driver to a “known good” version of the driver via Windows Update. Microsoft says that testing and validation of Cloud-Initiated Driver Recovery will continue through August of this year, with the goal of delivering this functionality to Windows PCs by September.
Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
