Any plans to allow automatically approve drivers based on different hardware classes? E.g. I'd like to automatically approve network drivers, but not BIOS updates.

We are currently looking at how we can provide more options to approve drivers based on certain criteria like you mentioned hardware class or manufacturer etc. We are still gathering more info on requirements, having said we would like to gather some info from you like what the experience be, something like in driver policy, ability to choose "this set of drivers" automatically approve, rest manual? and can change this criteria etc?

    Right, @Panu (and I, and many others) would love to have ConfigMgr ADRs for drivers. In Panu's scenario, that would allow him to automatically deploy less-concerning drivers like network drivers without also YOLO'ing BIOS updates that deserve more attention. Part of the problem there, as I understand it, is the metadata. The driver class is a free-text field that the OEM/IHVs can enter in anything they want. However, what most admins have in mind is where that hardware/driver shows up in Device Manager.
