Microsoft has unveiled a new plan for the delivery of automatic driver updates that they hope will reduce the number of reliability issues users experience in Windows 10. When a hardware driver is marked as automatic, Microsoft will automatically download and install the driver. This month Microsoft will use a new automatic driver update plan that performs gradual rollouts of new drivers to a small group of programmatically chosen users. Microsoft says this initial rollout stage will take approximately 8 days and the rest of the rollout can continue up to 30 days as they gradually increase its availability.
