Hy,
yes you are right, Automatic updates can sometimes introduce unexpected problems—such as network failures or software incompatibility due to newer drivers, we all had this kind of issues, but also the driver delivered in Intune are very basic.
Why not a tiered/ring-based deployment model?
- Pilot or IT-Test Ring: A small group of non-critical or IT user devices receives automatic driver updates immediately. This allows real-world testing and early detection of issues.
- Broader User Ring(s): Once validated, updates are either automatically or manually approved for larger sets of users.
- Production Ring: Critical devices receive driver updates last, often only after administrator approval and sufficient real-world validation
Or you could go with Vendor Tools: OEM tools (Dell Command, Lenovo System Update, HP Image Assistant)
If you would like a solution for HP let me know and ill be glad to share with you this solution.
Good luck!
