    Can I configure Windows 10 to download Driver updates but not install them? I would like to review the Driver Updates separately and possibly install at a later time..

    Windows updates download but wont install

    Problem was corrected by running the Microsoft "Media Creation Tool"

    Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

    Windows updates download but wont install


    PS>net helpmsg (0xbc2)

    The requested operation is successful. Changes will not be effective until the system is rebooted.



    Doesn't look like an "error". Are you rebooting after that? What happens then?

    Download Driver Updates - But not Install

    Nope , windows 10 use a very basic windows update system unlike the ones found on previous windows , the control on it is minimal , but you can disable windows updates from updating your drivers as a whole then enabling it when feeling like updating , then check for updates through device manager for devices you feel like updating (online search / windows update) then disable driver updates again .

    That's what I figured. Do you think turning off "Driver Updates" is the best default for most users?
