Can Windows update service be used to install updates for a 3rd party kernel driver?

I am wondering if the built in Windows update service allows third-party drivers to be updated through it?

It’s for a large company and not for an individual developer.

yes: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/dashboard/publish-a-driver-to-windows-update
It is part of the WHQL process, an optional step to publish to windows update.

oh, that’s pretty cool. I didn’t know that. Thanks.

I wonder though if a software-only virtual device driver would match their requirements?
