Windows 10: How do I stop windows update drivers install loop?

Hello,


I have an Windows Update error: "A current driver on your PC may be better than the driver we're trying to install. We'll keep trying to install."


I don't understand the logic behind the "We'll keep trying to install" as long as the current driver is better, but how could I stop it?


I have tried to set the "Device installation settings" to No, I have also tried to reset the Windows update catalog stopping the services and renaming C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution to SoftwareDistribution.old but it keeps trying to install and failing the same HP driver:


"Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8024200B: Hewlett-Packard - USB - 6/1/2018 12:00:00 AM - 46.2.2631.18152."


Is there a way to stop this loop?


Kind Regards,

Lucian

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.
