How do you rollback updates? Are there reports to track?

At this time, we don't have a Windows Update for Business capability to rollback drivers. If you need to roll back a specific driver, my recommendation would be to develop a PowerShell script for detect and uninstall and use these in a Proactive Remediation. Depending on the OEM, different drivers may require different steps, but hopefully most of the time you can use PnPUtil: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/devtest/pnputil-command-syntax I've not tested this very much, but I think you can use DeviceManager to find the DeviceInstancePath property, and then use PnPUtile /remove-device to remove that DeviceInstancePath. That completely removes it, rather than rolls it back.. and the next scan for updates should re-install the latest approved driver. I wouldn't use this without further testing for Network drivers, or if a user is active Monitors, Keyboards, Mice... Perhaps someone can help find a "rollback" command.
