These drivers will get installed only manually. The device is only 2 years old model. Is there any way to push silent command from Intune to get those drivers installed automatically?

    I came up with the script of my own (copied the major idea from somewhere but added options and skip errors etc.). I am testing this in Autopilot now, looks promising.

    Create folder for logs

    New-Item -ItemType directory -Path C:\Drivers -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

    Install prerequisite

    Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.021 -Force
    Install-Module -Name PSWindowsUpdate -Force
    Import-Module -Name PSWindowsUpdate -Force

    Register to MS Update Service

    Add-WUServiceManager -ServiceID "7971f918-a847-4430-9279-4a52d1efe18d" -Confirm:$false

    Download and install drivers and repeat once.

    Install-WindowsUpdate -Install -AcceptAll -UpdateType Driver -MicrosoftUpdate -ForceDownload -ForceInstall -IgnoreReboot -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-File "c:\Drivers\Drivers_Install_1_$(get-date -f dd-MM-yyyy).log" -Force
    Install-WindowsUpdate -Install -AcceptAll -UpdateType Driver -MicrosoftUpdate -ForceDownload -ForceInstall -IgnoreReboot -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-File "c:\Drivers\Drivers_Install_2_$(get-date -f dd-MM-yyyy).log" -Force

    @Pavel yannara Mirochnitchenko Thanks for posting in our Q&A. From your description, I know that you want to update driver via intune. If there is anything misunderstanding, feel free to let us know.

    For this issue, I find that there is a windows driver setting in Windows 10 update rings policy in intune.

    So it is suggested to try to use Windows 10 update rings and Windows 10 feature updates to manage updates for your Windows 10 devices. We can read the following article as a reference.

    If there is anything unclear, feel free to let us know.

    @Pavel yannara Mirochnitchenko Thanks for your reminder.

    Yes, I get this new information about windows update now and I find that Windows Update starting in version 2004 distributes only Automatic drivers for a system's devices. When Manual drivers are available for devices on the computer, the Windows Update page in the Settings app displays View optional updates.

    From intune's point of view, currently, there is no method to get drivers installed automatically. During my research, I find other customer who has the similiar request posted in Intune uservoice as below. We can vote and post our detailed request here. This is a place to collect customers' requirements and problems.

    Thanks for understanding and have a nice day.
