    Online driver updates removed?


    I read this article:
    Microsoft Kills Windows 10's Automatic Driver Search

    Sure enough in device manager:

    But, as soon as you click on "Search automatically for drivers" you see:


    Online driver updates removed? [​IMG]


    And it did, actually, download a driver and update it. So, I think the article is wrong. I am on build 19041.388. Does anyone have any more info on this? Is Microsoft planning on killing online updating of device drivers and haven't finished it yet? Or did they just change the wording of the driver update option choices and the underlying function is and will remain the same?

    :)

    Windows update keeps replacing ALPS Touchpad driver with a Synaptics driver.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

    I suggest you to uninstall and delete the previous drivers and the latest drivers for the touchpad and install the required version of the driver from Device Manager by following the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + X and select Device Manager from the list.
    • Expand the Touch pad driver.
    • Right click on the driver and click on update/install.
    • Select the required version from the on-screen prompts.

    And for the problem with the installation of printer drivers, I suggest you to run the Windows Update troubleshooter by following the steps below:

    • Type “Troubleshooting” in search box and press Enter.
    • Click on “View All” option on top left pane.
    • Select “Windows Update” from the list and follow the prompts for troubleshooting.

    Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to
    write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.
