  3. How to stop microsoft from installing bad software

    So, I have a bunch of domain computers. Every week, Microsoft's update re-installs bloatware and some apps that simply break our machines.

    On top of that, Microsoft also removes drivers we NEED to do business.

    Every week, I have to remove the Microsoft replacement drivers, and replace with drivers that work.

    How do we stop this annoying, and illegal behavior ?

    Cheers!

    unable to install bluetooth adapter driver software

    Hi Neil,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    As you are unable to install the software for the driver in normal mode, I suggest you to install the same in compatibility mode by following the steps provided below:

    • Right click on the setup file of the software and select
      “Properties”.
    • Select “Compatibility” Tab.
    • Place a check mark next to“Run this program in Compatibility mode” and select operating system from the drop down list.
    • Let the software install and then check thefunctionality.

    Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.
