    Hide or Show Windows Updates in Windows 10


    Did exactly what IownAmoneyPit mentioned in his first page post
    created one folder in Program Files named Windows Update - Show or Hide ( contains .Cab file) then created a shortcut (Dektop) with the same name which I then placed in the "CHide or Show Windows Updates in Windows 10 :programData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

    Windows Update - Show or Hide folder shows in All Apps but when i click folder it opens Program Files\Windows Update - Show or Hide folder then i have click .cab file.
    is there any way i can directly open it from All apps like other program?

    Sorry for my Bad English...............

    From another Junior Member:
    You can stop Windows updating a particular driver by configuring policies as below:

    Run "gpedit.msc" --> Computer Configuration --> Administrative Templates --> System --> Device Installation --> Device Installation Restrictions --> (Double Click) Prevent installation of devices that match any of these device IDs or Prevent installation of devices not described by other policy settings --> Select "Enabled" and perform the necessary changes.
    Detailed procedure:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb530324.aspx
    p.s. To allow Windows to install/update drivers for this device again, perform the above and set it back to "Not Configured".

    Hello drugo, *Smile

    Could you provide more details on what you mean by "can't really hide" the drivers?

    Did you uninstall the driver you wanted to hide first?

    Do the NVIDIA drivers still show up in Windows Update afterwards?

    If not, then they are hidden, until a new version is released next.

    I want to get my drivers from the manufacturer's site, not from Windows Update. Why can't MS grasp this and permit us to configure Win 10 so we stop getting driver updates from Windows?

    This is the main reason I am not letting go of Win 7 and continue using it as my default OS.
