Microsoft has been struggling with updating outdated drivers for a long time. Struggling with old versions for updating and protection, Microsoft seems to be failing to master the protection of its devices, despite its long effort.
Computers, which have an important place in people's lives, easily become targets of malicious people. For this reason, old versions of Microsoft often develop vulnerabilities to the users' disadvantage. Although the company works to take security measures in every update, it has been claimed that the work it has been doing for this purpose for three years is not sufficient. It is stated that the reason is that old drivers are exposed to certain attacks and this cannot be prevented.
Another issue stated by authorized people is that outdated drivers, in other words, software with lost hardware, make the devices in this version an open target by attacks called BYOVD, and this leaves users in a difficult situation. The driver files required for the external parts of the computers to function have to access the operating system directly, which carries a great risk.
Microsoft, the operating system, is a system that normally requires all its drivers to be digitally signed. Hence, it aims to ensure that the drivers are completely safe to use. In addition, if Microsoft has a vulnerability in a digitally signed driver, hackers can gain direct access to Windows. Microsoft has made a statement that they are working to fix these problems in the system and that they are trying to fix these problems in a short time. It becomes possible to manually update the hardware in the list of drivers, while also updating the documentation.
