How is your company managing driver updates via Intune?
Do you have same issue? : I have automatic approval. But some drivers/firmware are in "Others" Instead of being in "recommended". Like the last firmware identified as critical on Dell's website or video or sound drivers recommended on Dell site but in other in Intune. So our pc don't have the last driver. And for some drivers, applicable device number is like 2-3 but I have like 100 of those device same model. Policy create For several months.

Hi,
With automatic approval based on Microsoft’s data, you will receive the latest driver updates. When one of these approved drivers is superseded by a newer version, it moves to the "Other" category. Drivers that Microsoft considers optional may also appear in "Other."
The fact is that automatic approval is not one of the best solutions, as it can easily become a mess when you're working with multiple device series.
You can also check under Intune | Devices | Partner portals to see if that option suits your needs.Good luck!
