    Hide or Show Windows Updates in Windows 10


    What I finally did...and has worked so far, was restrict the update by imposing a Group Policy.

    In the Group Policy Editor:
    Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Device Installation > Device Installation Restrictions > Prevent installation of devices that match any of these device IDs
    I have added the HW ID of the camera and hasn't been changed/updated since.

    And MS agrees with me.... *Smile

    That is brilliant, this should also work with GPU drivers right? Then I wonder, where do you find the ID? Is this the right way?
    1. Device manager
    2. properties for said device
    3. Details tab
    4. Property drop down menu
    5. Matching device id
    6. Copy value and paste in the GPE?

    Wouldn't that prevent the device from being installed at all instead of just drivers for it?

    @mertzi:
    Exactly as you described it. Device Manager > Device > Properties > Details > Hardware Ids

    @Brink
    You're absolutely right Shawn. Devices with those IDs will not be installed if the Policy is enforced BEFORE their installation.

    So the steps to follow should be:
    1. You install the device (without the Policy) and update it, either with Windows Update or Manufacturer's driver.
    2. You ensure that it works properly and
    3. You enable the Policy to restrict its update and/or change.
