Shouldn't this be B (False) This setting relates to manually updating and where to search for updates. There is separate GPO to control whether to automatically update drivers during windows Update. "Do Not include drivers in Windows Updates" … Enable this policy to not include drivers with Windows quality updates. If you disable or do not configure this policy, Windows Update will include updates that have a Driver classification.

A, This solution meets the goal of preventing the video drivers from being updated automatically by using Windows Update. By enabling the Specify search order for device driver source locations setting and selecting Do not search Windows Update, you can prevent Windows from searching for device driver updates on Windows Update. This will ensure that the video drivers are not updated automatically through Windows Update.

This policy setting allows you to specify the order in which Windows searches source locations for device drivers. If you enable this policy setting, you can select whether Windows searches for drivers on Windows Update unconditionally, only if necessary, or not at all. Answer is A.

this GPO is only for NEW device , when is detected for the first time. Windows tries to install it by using local Drivers and then Windows Update Drivers. This GPo doesn't prevent windows updates (included Drivers) to be downloaded and installed. so answer is B.

I was about to say NO, but apparently there are two different methods to block device driver installation via GPO. I have just checked and they give the same results Option 1: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update. On the right side, double-click the [Do not include drivers with Windows Update], select ENABLED Option 2: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Device Installation. On the right side, double click [Specify search order for device driver source locations], select ENABLED and select [Do not search Windows Update] Hence answer A is correct

the answer to this question will be "no" due that we are cutting the tree of the windows updates . if we want to just cut the drivers updates then the solution must be like: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update and select : do not include drivers with windows updates

A. Yes is correct. To disable automatic searching of Windows Update by using Group Policy Open Group Policy Management Editor. In the navigation pane, open Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Internet Communication Management\Internet Communication settings. In the details pane, double-click Turn off Windows Update device driver searching. To turn off searching Windows Update, click Enabled Click OK to save your settings. https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/543895-how-to-prevent-windows-checking-or-upgrading-from#:~:text=In%20the%20navigation%20pane%2C%20open,Windows%20Update%20device%20driver%20searching.

Another ambiguous question! If you select do not search windows update for device drivers, you're not getting ANY device drivers from Windows Update. The question asks you need to prevent video drivers (not all drivers) Does it meet the goal? Yes but, you're cutting out all other device drivers. The answer should be A if we are asked if the action meets the goal. The answer should be B if the question was worded "prevent ONLY video drivers"

I think you are thinking too much. All they ask if it meets the goal. So does the GPO prevent the video drivers, the answer is it does. the answer on this question is A.Yes. Please do not add complicated things outside of the question, you are making the other learners too complicated.

Its YES, but not only for those video drivers but for all drivers. So yes, you cut the tree but in fact you cut the whole forest. Did you cut the tree? Yes. These kind of questions go along with a new style of mind set. New generation...

The most logical answer (we also use this option in our Citrix environments, because we do not want the XenServer drivers to be updatet) is from muzzag if you aks me.
