WindowsLatest report, Microsoft has now begun to provide some users with a new driver system in order to improve the user experience, but in rare cases, it may bring some users trouble.
As we all know, Windows 10 has now disabled the driver download function of the Device Manager. Therefore, it is now necessary to use Windows Update to complete the driver update work.
Simply put, the new version of the driver system will change the way that Windows Update updates Windows 10 automatically and manually.
When the user uses a Plug and Play (PnP) device (keyboard, mouse, webcam, etc.), Windows Update will scan for device driver updates without the user’s permission .
The mouse or keyboard uses Plug and Play (PnP) to automatically check whether there is a compatible driver on the system. For example, if you have used similar peripherals and installed a driver before, Windows will detect and use the driver. And if there is no compatible driver on the system, Windows will search for the driver in Windows Update and query the latest version, and the new driver may appear within 24 hours of inserting the device.

It is worth mentioning that the latest Windows 20H1 and 20H2 will not automatically install the version marked as “manual” by the driver publisher. So when there is no automatic update available for the peripheral, Windows will now return a DNF error and cause the device to fail or fail to respond.
Naijatechnews.com understands that the new version of the drive system is now available, but it may also affect some peripheral models.
