• Patch Lady – how do you handle drivers?

    Posted on November 20, 2019 at 23:52 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    I spotted this post the other day.  And the big big takeaway of the article is that a key issue with feature updates is driver updates.

    As we’ve discussed extensively in blogs, keeping device firmware up to date is becoming increasingly important. Our Windows tablets support firmware updates through Windows Update, so they’re taken care of by the configuration above.

    Once upon a time we NEVER updated drivers after a machine was installed.  Now we have to be soooooo proactive in finding updates.  I strongly encourage you to actively seek out the vendor firmware updating tool and ensure that you have that installed.  Another tip I’d recommend is to consider removing any third party antivirus if you are in any way concerned about the feature release process.  I’ve personally found that updating it less disruptive with defender on the system.
