When can we expect to see WUfB driver applicability to show devices/models its applicable to? Currently Windows 10 and later driver updates "driver name" selection doesn't match what is actually approved via "Automatic approval driver update policy".
Ex: "Dell, Inc. - Firmware - 0.1.10.0" exists twice in approved drivers. One release date of 12/06/2023 and
11/20/2024
However, the "Windows 10 and later Driver updates" search for the same driver name shows 5 different unique driver update to choose from with same name and the release dates only matches for 3 driver names.
Devices being targeted are not consistent with 4 different models being applicable depending on which update you choose.
This is causing more confusion for support staff looking at which driver is applicable/pending for a specific device.
The "Windows Update for Business reports" don't have same data and devices that show up as successfully installed in the "Windows 10 and later driver updates" reports don't usually have the updated status in the workbook report.
How can we improve this data is sent in timely fashion from the device? Intune hardware and inventory data gets updated as expected. However, not being to know which devices are actually compliant with our driver deployments is causing headaches.
MicrosoftWhew, so many great questions, I'll try to address them all.
The list of devices a driver is applicable is work in progress. I still don't have a solid ETA I can share, but it is the top ask for driver policies and something we want to deliver.
It looks like you have come across one of those cases where the driver vendor has released two drivers with the same name. I've seen this happen and it looks like for a new device model, they start the versioning at the same point, and use the same generic driver name. This is just another scenario where the applicable devices would help, since you'd be able to see that one of those drivers is for one set of device models, and the other is another.
When you refer to the "workbook" report, do you mean the WUfB Reports in Log Analytics? I don't get to play with that much, but I know the data Intune reports on comes from the exact same processors, but sometimes Intune gets it a little faster. Does it work out in the next day?
I hope that covers all the questions and thank you for taking the time to write these up.

First off thank you for the honest answer :)
Yep, WUfB Report in Log Analytics workbook, the data definitely updates however, I have not looked at the audit logs closely enough to see when it happens vs Intune side.
However, we like the built-in reports within Intune as the UI is more familiar for more staff. The WUfB report is good for generating overall compliance/similar extensive reports.
The Intune built-in ones are good for quick search if a device got a specific driver installed.
