How is your company managing driver updates via Intune?

In our environment, we use a hybrid approach. We allow Windows Update for Business to handle most standard driver updates automatically, but we block or manually approve drivers for higher-risk components like GPUs, network adapters, and firmware. Those tend to have the biggest impact when something goes wrong.

For manual control, we keep a small test ring of devices where new drivers are validated first. If nothing breaks, we approve them more broadly through Intune. This keeps the workload manageable while still reducing the risk of unexpected issues in production.

It’s not zero effort, but it strikes a good balance between stability and automation. Letting everything run fully automatic was just too risky for our use cases, especially with business-critical apps involved.
