API to show progress page of windows showing that this particular drivers are getting updated

Question

I have to rollout updates for my driver through windows updates. And I followed https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/dashboard/publish-a-driver-to-windows-update. Next I want that when the drivers are updating windows should show this particular driver updates are happening so that user is aware. Is there any API which can help me here.

Hello there,

Yes, there is an API with your requirements.

Driver and firmware updates are published to Windows Update by independent hardware vendors and original equipment manufacturers, who continuously build new drivers and firmware or update existing ones. The deployment service will only show you driver and firmware updates that are applicable and better (normally by version number or version date) than what is currently installed on your devices . The service takes the guess work out of identifying what drivers and firmware updates apply to your devices and lets you focus on approving content that will help keep your devices protected and productive.

Windows Update Agent API https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/_wua/

Hope this resolves your Query !!
