WU_E_DRV_PRUNED
WU_E_DRV_PRUNED means Windows Update skipped a driver candidate while reducing the list of available drivers. By itself, this is usually a selection result rather than evidence that a driver installation failed.
How to interpret it
- Check whether another, more applicable or newer driver was selected for the same device.
- Verify the device hardware IDs and current driver state before forcing a different package.
- For managed driver deployment, check approval and targeting policy for the device.
