Computing Device Update Control

摘要

Techniques for computing device update configuration are described. In implementations, an update service is employed to manage update groups for various types and/or classifications of computing devices. An update group can specify particular update statuses for functionalities of a computing device, such as device driver updates, software updates, firmware updates, and so forth. In at least some implementations, a computing device can be assigned to an update group based on attributes of the computing device, such as an identifier of a manufacturer for the computing device, a make identifier for the computing device, a model identifier, and so forth. Update information associated with the update group can be synchronized with the computing device.

1. A system comprising:
a receiver configured to receive update targeting information from a computing device manufacturer; memory, operably coupled to the receiver to store the update targeting information, the update targeting information including information that indicates that an available update is not to be applied for a particular type of computing device; and a processor to configure, based on the update targeting information, an update group for the particular type of computing device to specify that the available update is not to be applied to the particular type of computing device.
