By default, drivers will be offered to your Windows Update-connected devices. Our guidance here is to continue to receive drivers from Windows Update. Alternatively, you can enable the following policy to stop receiving drivers from Windows Update. ### Policy overview |Policy| Description | |-|-| |Do not include drivers with Windows Update |When enabled prevents Windows Update from offering drivers.| ### Suggested configuration |Policy| Location|Suggested configuration | |-|-|-| |Do not include drivers with Windows Update |GPO: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Do not include drivers with Windows Updates|State: Disabled | ## Dual-managed environment You can use an on-premises catalog, like WSUS, to deploy 3rd Party patches and use Windows Update to deploy feature and quality updates. We provide capabilities to deploy content from both Windows Update Service and from WSUS. In addition to the policies for managing drivers, apply the following configurations to your environment. |Policy| Description | |-|-| |Specify Intranet Microsoft Update Service Location| Used for WSUS/System Center Configuration Manager customers who want to install custom packages that are not offered through Windows Update.| ### Suggested configuration |Policy| Location|Suggested configuration | |-|-|-| |Specify Intranet Microsoft Update Service Location|GPO: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Specify Intranet Microsoft update service location|State: Enabled

Windows 10 clients can source content from other devices on their local network that have already downloaded the same updates in addition to downloading these updates from Microsoft. Using the settings available for Delivery Optimization, clients can be configured into groups, allowing organizations to identify devices that are possibly the best candidates to fulfil peer-to-peer requests. To configure devices for delivery optimization, ensure the following configurations are set. |Policy| Description | |-|-| |Download Mode| 2=HTTP blended with peering across a private group. Peering occurs on devices in the same Active Directory Site (if exist) or the same domain by default. When this option is selected, peering will cross NATs. To create a custom group use Group ID in combination with Mode 2| |Minimum Peer Caching Content File Size (in MB)|Specifies the minimum content file size in MB enabled to use peer caching.
