Microsoft fixes Windows Autopatch driver policy bypass in the EU
Mitigation Patch UpdateMicrosoft fixed a Windows Autopatch bug that let a limited subset of Autopatch-managed Windows devices in the European Union receive unexpected recommended driver updates from Windows Update despite IT admin policies that required manual approval. Impacted devices could reboot unexpectedly and, in some cases, experience system failures, and Microsoft said the issue was resolved through a service-side fix that requires no client-side updates or further customer action.
