  1. Disable Windows 10 Device Driver Updates


    I have Windows 10 Home and Pro computers with older USB Serial Port adapters. Recently, Windows 10 Update automatically updates the drivers for these adapters, with new drivers that do not work with the older hardware versions that I have installed on my computers.


    How do I stop Windows 10 Update from automatically installing new device drivers on my computers?

    :)

    Everyone that post ids, need just do these steps and you will be good. I kinda tired of keep on uploading the inf. file

    1.Go Open up device manager
    2. Go under sound,video, and game controllers
    3. Find Realtek High Definition Audio
    4. Right click and hit update driver
    5. Browse my computer for driver software
    6. Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
    7. Click Have Disk and hit browse
    8. Click on the Realtek HD Audio mod folder and look for win64
    9. Click on the HDXRT4 and click ok,
    10. Click Next and Yes
    additional if you want dts audio and others, install it now before next step.
    After it is done, restart the PC

    You should be good then and also make sure before doing these steps that you have driver enforcement disabled.
