Windows 10: How do I permanently prevent MS from updating my Display drivers?

Today, MS decided again to update my Nvidia display driver (which, for reasons, I had specifically frozen at 417). Unlike before, I wasn't even offered the option anymore to not install it and/or hide the update: MS just passive-aggressively pushes it on you.


So, how do I permanently prevent MS from updating my Display drivers?


Running Win 10, 64-bit (fully up-to-date... sadly).

Windows update reverted display to MS Basic Display Driver

Hi,

Normally, this issue occurs when the drivers were being corrupted or updated after the recent update. Since you've already tried to install the latest driver, we suggest that you roll back to the previous driver and check if it helps to resolve the issue. To
do this, kindly follow the steps below:

• Open Device Manager.
  
• Double-click the device for which you want to roll back to the previous version of the driver, and then click
  Properties.
  
• Under the Driver tab, select Roll Back Driver.
  
• Select OK.

Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested steps.

Windows update reverted display to MS Basic Display Driver

I just wanted to thank you! This is the only thing to have worked after several nights trawling the online help. My screen resolution is now back to normal after last week's Windows 10 update. I had tried so many "fixes" and this was the only one to have
worked and was so easy to do! Now my photos look normal again and not horribly stretched! Thanks a million1
