Topic: drivers from Windows Update
does DP team use any of the drivers from WU?
found it weird as nobody talks about drivers from WU.
my current method to find for suitable drivers:
current DP stable releases > WU update > OEM website download

Re: drivers from Windows Update
Oh. Yes, Windows Update, or MicrosoftUpdateCatalog are indeed sources valid for inclusion into any of the DriverPacks. OEM website download is also acceptable.
Send us a link or two for drivers to be included for MassStorage, Chipset, or LAN, for one of us here to consider including for upcoming nightlies, betas or releases.
Thank you for asking.

Re: drivers from Windows Update
There are hundreds of Gigs of driver packages for us to go through to update the DriverPacks. To ensure your request is implimented, a new topic should be created for each driver request with a [REQ] prefix in the title.
If that is a WLAN device, it should be filed under Vista-7(includes W8.x) WLAN.
Here is an example --> http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=10821
Please post a new topic for that driver. Thank you again.

it's not spam, that is our system. Once it gets added a mod or admin will re-title your post with [IMP]lemented.

Re: drivers from Windows Update
Actually, those [REQ]uests are somewhat generic as they force one to search MSU for drivers based upon the HWID in those links.
Whenever those would be updated, can one really say it is fully implimented when newer drivers will be available via those links later?
For those types of generic links, perhaps they could fit under the title [REQ-GEN] (to become [IMPL-GEN]) or by some other means, to support future pack workers?
