The drivers posted to Dell.com for the Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet appear to be much more recent than those posted to Windows Update.
For those that are new to this, this is generally the case with most Windows Update-published drivers for any device because Microsoft has such stringent criteria (security reviews, regression testing, contractual agreements, etc.) for OEMs that wish to post drivers for distribution through Windows Update.
For example: “Dell Wireless 1538 WiFi/BT Driver”
- The Dell Wireless 1538 WiFi/BT Driver for the Dell Venue 8 Pro on Windows Update is listed as being from August 2013.
- The Dell Wireless 1538 WiFi/BT Driver posted to Dell.com is from 10 days ago.
