OEM drivers after upgrading to a new Windows 10 release
Computers are managed through MEMCM, on prem. An issue we see on laptops regularly, after upgrading to another Windows 10 build, is that we generally need to deploy various model-specific drivers/apps (otherwise the "FN" keys such as "mute" or "screen luminosity" won't work for example). Is this expected ? (all the other drivers are automatically migrated and works well) Is Microsoft working with OEMs to find a more maintainable solution where we don't need to deploy model-specific drivers manually after upgrading Windows 10 build ? Thanks
