On Wednesday, Microsoft fixed an issue that caused some Windows devices to install driver updates without notice despite policies configured to prevent auto-updates.
In an admin center incident report (MO1332784), Microsoft blamed the issue on a misconfiguration in the Windows Update caching service that temporarily dropped device enrollment information, causing some Windows devices to be treated as non-enrolled and preventing driver-approval controls from being applied correctly.
The Intune Support Team also acknowledged the issue on Twitter and Reddit, saying the company was actively working to mitigate it.
"We've received a report of an issue where users' Windows devices that have configured policies to prevent auto updates are installing drivers," Microsoft said when it acknowledged the issue on Tuesday afternoon, June 2.
"As we work to remediate the impact, we've determined that the drivers being installed are Microsoft approved/signed and that they don't pose a security threat."
