Windows Update will soon automatically roll back faulty drivers
The Verge·May 14, 2026
Microsoft is working to improve the Windows Update experience, particularly for Windows 11 users. A new feature, called "Cloud-Initiated Driver Recovery", will automatically roll back faulty drivers installed through Windows Update and replace them with previously working drivers. This aims to reduce frustration and simplify the process of resolving driver issues, which currently requires manual intervention or a new driver release from hardware vendors. The update is part of Microsoft's efforts to fix and enhance the overall Windows 11 experience.
