The same version, different driver date driver update problem
Hi、technical advisor
I would like to confirm whether the driver date has a higher priority than the driver version when updating the driver through windows update. For example: I have a driver, the version is 2.0.0.354, the driver date is 2021/10/22, because the test found that there is a problem with this driver, the manufacturer changed the inf file and re-passed WHQL, and the driver version is still 2.0.0.354, It's just that the driver date has changed to 2021/10/25, I released a new driver through WU, it was a critical release, and I checked "Automatically delivered during Windows Upgrades" and "Automatically delivered to all applicable systems", this new driver Will it be downloaded and installed automatically? Will the new driver be automatically downloaded and installed for devices that have activated the Windows operating system, while the new drivers will only be downloaded and not automatically installed for devices that have not been activated for OEM testing?thank you very much!
