Windows 10: Disable/remove automatic driver install via Windows Update

Recently I was notified that a driver installation failed. I went and checked it out, and it was a driver for HD 4600 graphics. My old system ran an i7-4790K, and when I upgraded to X99 I did not reimage my SSD.

Is there a way I can remove an update from Windows Update? The CPU I have has no iGPU, let alone HD 4600.

Also, as a side note, I posted here in the Microsoft community because I already contacted Microsoft's "professional" support, and I was informed that they are equipped to handle basic questions only. This is an advanced technical support issue, and if
the only responses I will get are from the same team that runs the chat/phone support service, please tell me where I can contact someone more knowledgeable.
