    So the end user is responsible to hunt down the driver publisher? In what way is that better than MS being responsible and they keep the publishers in line before the publishers get access to autoupdater?

    About the third party installer, why not use my suggested solution rather than putting words in my mouth? Keep the drivers in a separate MS installer from autoupdates

      Error wizard only updates leads us right into issues of insecure drivers being left in place because they aren’t causing errors. Or what if the drivers originally installed were engineering drivers, and an update was to correct them? Never going to hit because it never errored.

      The reality is, the current solution works. Is it infallible? No, of course not. But this is like getting mad at FexEx because they didn’t confirm the package Amazon sent you was the actual item you ordered.

        Except you didnt order it, FedEx decided you needed the package. More, the package contained termites that got out and infested your house
