Event details
Third party vendors who provide drivers to autopatch constantly bundle in “management apps” that in some cases are not wanted in an enterprise setting. Are there any rules around what can be submitted and do Microsoft have a stance on what those updates can/should contain?
Mention-dan Partners publishing to Windows Update must follow the Windows Hardware/Partner Center publishing policies, and driver packages are expected to contain the driver itself, not additional bundled software. If you are seeing additional software installing with the drivers, you can run driver updates in manual-approval mode, so nothing is offered to your fleet until you've reviewed and approved each specific driver.
Also, let us know which ones are doing this by leaving that feedback in the Intune admin center or at https://aka.ms/IntuneFeedback with the vendor/driver details so the servicing team can follow up.
