Removal of unwanted drivers from Windows Update
This blog post is intended to notify all Windows Hardware program partners that Microsoft has taken a strategic initiative to clean up legacy drivers...
Cleanup here refers to the process of expiring drivers so that they are no longer associated with an audience in Windows update, resulting in them not being offered to any system. Moving forward, expect this cleanup to be a routine practice, and prepare for the introduction of new publishing guidelines that will help all windows users keep their systems in a secure and reliable state. We appreciate your cooperation in this initiative, as it helps ensure that Windows devices run on the most secure and compatible drivers available.
