In Windows Update for Business, Update Ring configuration allows to set 'Quality Update deferral period' and 'Feature Update deferral period'. This allows us to define a staged approach for when updates are release to each of the 15 'waves' of devices we have.
However, we would like to do the same for Driver Updates but there is no Deferral parameter for that. How can we solve this?

By default, driver deferral values match the values you set for Windows quality updates. The article dives into how to choose a deferral period for drivers and what this means for manually approved drivers (versus automatic).
