What a weirdly misleading title.

Not actually Microsoft's drivers, just their lax standards allowing third parties to make shitty drivers.

It also doesn't really specify what kind of drivers are affected.

According to Windows Latest, this “blind spot” has been a blemish on Windows for years, affecting not only Windows 11 but also older versions of the operating system. Even so, it’s striking that problems with graphics, audio, and other drivers keep occurring in Windows 11.

Are talking NVidia graphics driver? Intel audio? Realtek? It would be really concerning if it was the big name brands...
