AMA: Windows update and driver management
Event details
We are blocked from using driver management, because video/audio/network/Bluetooth driver background installs interrupt the users. Screen flickering, audio or network dropping, BT mouse/keyboard disconnected. During presentations or online meetings.
How to prevent that? I'm referring to Autopatch default/recommended settings for single user devices:
"Automatically install". Which is a great setting to roll out CUs fast, because they don't cause interruption. But it applies the same for drivers, which is problematic.
"Schedule Install" is not nice for that use case either, because drivers will still install automatically outside then-fixed active hours. Or if devices are powered down, will be delayed till deadline.

Schedule Install is the best practice we recommend and the driver policies should land on devices. Please share your logs and screenshots via Feedback Hub for further investigation-->Send feedback to Microsoft with the Feedback Hub app - Microsoft Support

Im interested in that too. WUfB is such a nice Feature, but the described experience is killing the good impression.
