  2. Enable or Disable Driver Updates in Windows Update in Windows 10  


    With that stubborn update that continued to cause reverting back issues I simply disabled the WU by way of the Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services>Windows Update for a temporary stretch until that particular update was no longer showing up.

    Following the green line shows each step of the process there to change the WU active role back and forth from Automatic or Automatic with delayed start another option, manual, or totally disabled from running at all. That is an option for when wanting to get rid of a stubborn driver update by preventing the WU from putting one that causes problems before you go direct to a manufacturer's support site to look what alternative updates are available. Of course you can also very easily right click on the device listing in the Device Manager there to temporary disable a particular hardware. device which will then prevent the WU from any automatic driver search.

    Windows 10 disabling driver updates

    Hi,

    Windows does not forcefully update device drivers. It is possible that the manufacturer of your
    Display driver is really forcing the update so that, your drivers will be fully compatible with
    Windows 10. If you would like to further disable device updates in your PC, you may need to disable
    Windows Updates as well. You can do this by following these steps:

    • Press Windows +R to open Run.
    • Type services.msc and press Enter to open
      Services.
    • Scroll down to find Windows Update, right-click it, and click
      Stop.
    • Right-click Windows Update again and select Properties.
    • Change the Startup type to Disabled, save the changes, and close the window.

      Note: By disabling Windows Update Service, your PC will not be able to get the latest updates for Windows 10

    After disabling the update, you can try to roll the device driver update back to your desired version. To do so, follow these steps:

    • On the search box, search and open Device Manager.
    • Right-click the device for which you want to roll back to the previous version of the driver, then click
      Properties.
    • Click the Drivers tab and click Roll Back Driver.
    • In the Driver Package rollback dialog box, click Yes.

    If the driver update still pushes through, you may need to contact your device manufacturer support for further assistance.

    Let us know how things go.

    Regards.
