I'll let you know if the issue pops up again.

It's very strange, and I assume this issue will grow as more people roll through the update (I only applied mine today)

    @SlashGuy I tried using Group Policy and Microsoft's own tool for hiding Windows Updates (available here: Fri, 01 May 2020 21:56:35 +0000 https://forums.lenovo.com/topic/findpost/1308/5012225/5043200 DMH123 https://forums.lenovo.com/topic/findpost/1308/5012225/5043344 Sat, 02 May 2020 05:40:16 +0000 https://forums.lenovo.com/topic/findpost/1308/5012225/5043344 WoodmanTas https://forums.lenovo.com/topic/findpost/1308/5012225/5046281 This just happened again this morning. The same "fix" resolved the issue, though I see no record of a new instance of the driver update having come through Windows Update, oddly. Anyone else having issues with it this morning?

On the failed device, right click and choose uninstall. In the prompt make sure to check the checkbox for "Delete" the installed driver. This should remove the Intel driver that is being applied and causing the issue.
