Drivers are software that enable the operating to communicate with and control the hardware components of a computer, such as printers, graphics cards, and network adapters. Think of drivers as translators between your computer's hardware and its software; they tell the operating system how to use the hardware correctly. Without the right driver, a piece of hardware won't work as it should, or it might not work at all.
Update drivers manually

Take caution to uninstall the software after the installation if you do not wish to allow the user to update the drivers themselves.
For custom assembled devices, the best way to find the appropriate drivers is to search for drivers and firmware using the motherboard model number and downloading them from the manufacturer’s site.

If you are using Windows Update for Business, consider leveraging it to install device drivers. Exercise caution, as Windows Update for Business also installs various firmware updates, and may cause unforeseen issues. This is why it’s extremely important to have test and pilot the drivers before production deployment.
If you are using Microsoft Intune, you can review, approve, and if necessary, pause deployments of drivers with Windows Update for Business. To learn more, visit Microsoft Learn - Windows Driver update management in Microsoft Intune.
