  1. How can I stop Windows Update from installing the wrong drivers?


    Hey everyone! So Windows update keeps forcing an install of graphics drivers and wifi drivers that seriously impede my system. My wifi capability with those drivers goes to almost nothing.

    Is there a way to stop that from happening on the latest Windows version? I tried googling but all the methods either don't work or are from older versions.

    Thanks in advance for all the help!

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.

    Stop windows automatic driver install

    I'm having a problem with installing a nvidia card. windows 7 automatically installs some wdm 1.1 drivers, then when i install the 195.39 drivers, it gives me less performance. like the cards lags in games when it should run fine.

    how can i stop windows from installing the drivers automatically ?

    i tried checking the "don't install drivers from windows update" in device manager. it still installs it.
