My less knowledgable Dad has just completley bailed off Windows 10, after he kept getting “gamer” control panels installled for his AMD graphics card on his laptop running at startup, and has just gone back to Windows 7 which has “no bullshit ” to quote him.

Before I figured this out I’ve had to clean reinstall 3(!) times with broken drivers keeping being downloaded for graphics, audio and network adapters for how I use my computer. I’m all for enforcing security updates, but enforcing driver updates is a terrible decision. Once you’ve done that, block the hardware ID again before connecting to the internet.

You need to disable your network adapter (so no internet), uninstall the driver from device manager (NOT from programs and features) and make sure you check the box that says “delete drivers for this device” (otherwise windows will always replace an “empty” device driver with one that still exists in WIndows/System32) Then you can install your own new driver.

To make sure windows doesn’t update it before you get chance to install your new driver yourself. You have to unblock it temporarily if ever you want to change driver yourself. It s not a perfect solution but the only one that works. This means Windows Update will download drivers, but just can’t install them. The only way to stop windows update installing drivers currently is to block by device hardware IDs. This prevents driver updates when Windows Update is being used on the device.Īll of the above doesn’t work anymore as of Februrary 20th 2017.
Microsoft added a new policy to Windows 10 which you can configure to block driver updates coming from Windows Update. With the Anniversary Update, out Summer 2016, comes a third option. Double-click on the preference and change its value.If you set it to 2, driver software is installed if it is not found on the system (this may not work anymore in Windows 10).
You may use the Windows Registry to modify the driver update preference instead.
