    So I have been having issues with installing latest update, I refuse to fully reinstall unless there is no other way out.
    I have read on another thread that removing old intel drivers might be the culprit.

    Following that advice I force removed drivers for all intel devices that are not present in my system, now I come back to windows forcing to install them with no option to disable it. Anyone know how I could prevent windows from installing drivers for devices that dont exist in the system?

    Thank you very much for any help

    :)

  3. Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.
