I manage a large Windows 10 client environment, and we prioritize keeping drivers up to date. Ideally, I want the latest driver for a DisplayLink (DL) dock to be installed automatically whenever I connect to it. However, from what I understand, this isn’t the current behavior.

Currently, when a computer connects to a DL dock, the driver activates automatically. If Windows Update runs and driver updates are enabled, it will update the DL driver—assuming a newer version is available.

I imagine a scenario where I could bypass Windows Update entirely. Why can’t I configure the system to check for driver updates at a specific time daily, weekly, or monthly?

Also, if I change this setting to “yes,” what exactly happens?

The referenced link points to the default product capabilities stored in the registry at HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\DisplayLink\Products. There, the “AutomaticUpdates” value is set to “no.”
Only people with real patience can handle FNF. Think you’re one of them?
