Windows 10: Anyone know if Windows 10 10041 is still updating Hardware Drivers?

That's what I want to know, have they fixed it so you can say no, I don't want to update my hardware drivers!

Every time it does my sound quits working.

Windows 10 Upgrade Stalls At 32% (Error Code C1900101-30018)

Just found this: Windows 10 Update build 10041 to 10049 stuck for many - Myce.com

Apparently they have seen this before - still no fix!

 

Problem with going over to full windows.

Hello, so i updated to windows 10 a couple of months ago. Windows 10 is now complete but i still have "Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview Evaluation copy. Build 10041"

How do i update it to full version?

 

Hi there

This is a MEGA issue - there's no way to stop automatic updates. After several updates I have to roll back the Audio driver to get sound again.

Hopefully Ms will bring back the old panel where you could select updates to install (or not install).

In my experience, when I install Realtek HD Audio driver 2.75 and AMD 14.12 Omega drivers WU doesn't update them. It's saying that Realtek sound driver is ready to install but it never does. My guess is that those drivers are newer than the ones from MS so it doesn't "have to" update them.

 

Same as JImbo. I have had a couple of problems with updates replacing my chosen, and desired, drivers.

 

There is a setting in 10041 under Devices called "Download over Metered Connections". However, they seem to have removed the option to set a metered connection for Ethernet connections, and it's only available on Wifi. I hope they fix this in the next build.

 

Thanks, I'll keep my fingers crossed for the future.

My problem is the only drivers that work with my Sound Blaster Audigy sound card are the ones that came with it.

I have the disk and even copied it to my hard drive so I don't have to get it out all the time, but if I go to Creative and download the latest drivers from them, I get the same problems I do when Windows updates them.

I just wish I could say leave my sound drivers alone and have it stick.

All driver updates should be optional, period !!!
