Windows 10: How do I stop my display driver from auto-upgrading?

Here's my current display driver's details and when I tried to update my windows my system started downloading this version of my display driver:I have already used this version for a while and it was really buggy. It made my laptop's screen flicker like crazy. and it's also older than my current driver so how do I stop getting back to this version? It's really annoying....Microsoft should really check the current driver versions before just upgrading or downgrading at their will.

Display Driver Stopped responding and has recovered

Ashish Sondhi,

Thank you so much for responding and giving me instruction to help correct the problem I'm having with windows 10:

"Display Driver Stop Responding and has Recovered. Display Driver Intel HD Graphic Driver for windows 8(R) stopped responding and has successfully recovered."

Your last instructions I would like to attempt but I do not think I am that knowledgeable to start deleting drivers with out some assistance. When I,
b. Click on “Device Manager” from that list and highlight the Display Adapter and right click there is no option to uninstall unless I expand and click the only listing under it and that is "Intel(R) HD Graphics
4600". This one does give me an option to uninstall.

What I do not understand about your suggestions is the next step:

"On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select that and then
remove the corrupted drivers from the
computer."


By uninstalling the Intel(R) does that uninstall other drivers that I do not see on this list?

I'm sorry but I'm lost at this point and I do not want to mess up what is working. Everything was fine with my system until the request to upgrade windows 10 which I thought it was update but I'm not sure now. Something about upgrade 1511 is all I remember
at this point. Best Regards, Ann
