Windows 10: How to avoid Windows 10 downloads driver for new HW?

I want to uninstall a driver, but as soon as windows is rebootet, it download and install a driver *Mad

I want to install a driver that I do know work, but to do that, Windows own driver must be uninstalled.

How can I avoid this?

:)

 

Upgrades and updates

I would avoid installing drivers for the video card from Windows Update. Instead, you should download and install the driver directly from nVidia's website:

Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers

I would also recommend you do the same for other drivers:

Wifi shuts off when trying to connect

if its just that i'll reccomend check the driver settings or the BIOS settings to see if it might've got disabled (YouTube it if you don't know how)

But for me i just factory resetted my laptop but kept the windows 10 driver, afterwards all i had to do was download the drivers from dell again and my wifi worked again

(also just a little advice i would avoid downloading any updates from microsoft to avoid this problem again so i disabled auto-update)

 

Hi there

It will give you respite until the NEXT load of updates so you need to repeat the process --not too often though.

In Device manager choose the device whose driver you need to fix, choose properties and then select ROLL BACK DRIVER. This will recover the previous (working) driver again and won't update until the next slew of windows updates appears -- hopefully not too often.

Sounds like a beta OS from the 80's or 90's.
How can windows 10, in 2015 not have the option to keep drivers of your personal choice installed?
Quite shocking

 

First, set your internet connection to 'metered'

Restart your computer and uninstall the driver you don't like and install the one that works.
