Is it possible to make sure drivers land during the Windows Update reboot phase? When display adapter drivers land it can cause the screen to go blank, and network adapters can result in interruption to service.

    This looks to users like a fault, when it's just routine maintenance. The user needs some heads up that driver updates are happening, or they should not land during a user session. Thanks!

      We recommend setting up Autopatch Groups and utilize the release schedule preset for installation, reboot, and notification behavior settings. For example, the "Reboot-sensitive devices" option only allows devices to update at a scheduled time. Manage Windows Autopatch groups | Microsoft Learn
