Known models affected (in our environment) are Dell Latitude 5450, Latitude 5550 and Latitude 7350.
Driver automation tool versions from at least 7.2.4 through 7.2.6, I haven't tried 8.0 as of yet.
There are multiple entries for these devices (3-4 each) for BIOS updates, unsure if this also occurs for drivers (possibly!), i.e.

This has led the MSEndpointMgr Driver Automation tool to download bios Version A24 and not 1.18.1 which is the latest. The 'releaseDate' could be used to ascertain the correct one. I have also escalated this with Dell to try and fix the root cause of the problem.
