Windows 10: How do I stop Windows 10 from updating the Intel GPU driver?

My Intel HD 630 graphics card causes severe memory leaks when the latest drivers provided by Windows are installed. I have to use a specific beta driver 101.1121 and up in order to avoid this memory leak. However, once in a while Windows sneaks in an update for the drivers without my permission or even notifying me in the process, rolling it back to the latest Microsoft approved driver 100.9805, and causing the memory leak to occur once more.How do I completely prevent Windows 10 from doing anything to the Intel drivers? I need to manage them myself.

• Click on "Hardware" tab
• Click "Device Installation Settings"
• Tick the "No, let me choose what to do"
• Tick "Never install driver software from Windows Update"

That doesn't stop windows update from grabbing them on next run, at least it didn't back in the RTM days. It simply stops a secondary process from installing them immediately.

I understand your concern and will help you with the issue.

I would suggest you to follow the steps below:
