Hi,

quick question:

Is there a list on what machine drivers (and machines) Windows Update offers drivers for?

I'm using Solarwinds RMM Patchmanagement to keep my customes systems up to date. Sometimes there are drivers mixed in with the usual MS updates, but not every driver is included.

So does MS have a list somwhere what machines and what hardware they support via Windows update?

Does anyone know of a program that could do this? Specificaly: scan the machine, list the hardware and drivers installed, and update them if needed?

There must be something like this out there for professionals, becuse keeping any amount of machines up to date is a hassle when you have to do this manually...

thank you

    Hi,

    As far as I know there is no list of what drivers are updated via Windows Update, the closest I could think of is to look for the keyword "driver" in the Microsoft Update Catalog:
    https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=driver

    This should list you most drivers available via Windows Update.


    (If the reply was helpful please don't forget to accept as answer, thank you)

    Best regards,
    Leon
