What this feature does
Driver Protection helps prevent the operating system from starting drivers that are known to cause stability problems. These drivers are listed in a Driver Protection List database that is stored on your computer. Driver Protection checks this database while the operating system is running. These checks are performed to determine whether to start a driver. For more information, see the Driver Protection List article online at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=73914.
Information collected, processed or transmitted
Updated versions of required drivers are downloaded to your computer if you've enabled Windows Update. To learn more about the information collected by Windows Update and how it is used, see the Windows Update Privacy Statement at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=50142. Administrators can also distribute updated versions of required drivers to computers on a network.
Use of information
Windows notifies you if a driver that is listed in the Driver Protection List starts. If you click the notification, Windows will ask if you want to report the problem to Microsoft so you can check for solutions or for more information. If you don't click the notification, Windows will automatically create a report and, depending on your problem reporting settings, ask you to send it later. To view or change your problem reporting settings, or to manually send reports at any time, use the options provided in Problem Reports and Solutions in Control Panel. To learn more about the information collected by Windows error reporting and how it is used, see the Privacy Statement for the Microsoft Error Reporting Service online at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=50293.
If a driver is listed in the Driver Protection List during Windows setup, you will be notified before the operating system finishes installing. You can cancel setup and find an alternate driver solution before installing the operating system, or you can continue the setup process and install an alternate driver later. In this case, Windows might disable the driver in order to complete the installation. After the installation is complete and you log on, the operating system will notify you, as described above.
Choice and control
Driver Protection works with Windows Update and, during Windows setup, with Dynamic Update. To prevent Driver Protection from updating the Driver Protection List database on your computer, refrain from using Windows Update and Dynamic Update.
