Microsoft Rolls Out New Windows 10 Optional Update Experience
#1
Information 
Quote:Starting today, Microsoft will begin rolling out the new Windows 10 optional updates experience that allows users to pick and choose what non-security updates and drivers they wish to install.
 
In September 2019, we reported that Microsoft was introducing a new section to Windows Update called 'Optional updates' that contains all of the optional updates and drivers that are not required
for the proper functioning of Windows.
 
Users will be able to access the new Optional updates interface through a link in Windows Update titled 'View optional updates'. Once clicked, users will be shown a list of optional drivers and updates
that they can install if they wish.

As part of the rollout starting today, Microsoft is allowing hardware developers to mark their drivers as 'Automatic' or 'Manual' to specify how drivers should be delivered to Windows users.
 
If a driver is set to Automatic, it will be included in Microsoft's normal Windows Update experience and automatically downloaded and installed on applicable systems.
 
This allows hardware developers to roll out new drivers and test them with a small amount of Windows users for reliability before pushing them out to a wider audience.
