With regard to feature updates (upgrades)… the filter is now there so that BatchPatch recognizes them and distinguishes them from other updates. However, at this time BatchPatch cannot install feature updates through the normal/standard BatchPatch Windows update actions. This is due to how Microsoft is distributing them differently from all other software updates. Instead they can be deployed using the method outlined here:
Remotely Upgrading Windows 10 to the ‘Creators Update’ version 1703 (or to the ‘Anniversary Update’ version 1607)
As for the driver updates in question, it’s a similar situation. In Win 10 and Win 2016 we have noticed that Microsoft doesn’t even show these updates in the Windows Update GUI anymore. BatchPatch still shows them, but they appear to not be installable. Frankly, chipset drivers were probably not ever installable through Microsoft Update. We recommend that if you are using Microsoft Update that you then also use ‘Important/Recommended’ instead of ‘All software updates’ and ‘All driver updates.’ Or at the least I would suggest that you uncheck ‘All driver updates.’
