    How to Force Windows 10 to Use a Specific NVidia Graphics Driver?


    I'm trying to persuade my Dell Inspiron 7537 laptop to use the Dell provided v353.24 NVidia driver since this is reported on the Dell forum to currently provide better compatibility. This version installs fine , but after a few minutes Windows updates it to v 353.62. This happens even when I select No to "Do you want to automatically download manufacturer's apps and custom icons that are available" under Device Installation Settings.

    I've done a clean install of the older v353.24 drivers twice but they always upgrade to v353.62.

    How do I force Windows to use the driver I specify?

    :)

    How to force Edge use discrete graphics?

    Hi,

    You may try the following steps and check if the issue persist.

    • Right clicking on the Desktop and selecting NVIDIA Control Panel
    • Navigating to the Control Panel and searching for NVIDIA Control Panel
    If you don't have it installed, make sure you have the latest NVIDIA drivers.

    Under the NVIDIA Control Panel, navigate to 3D Settings -> Manage 3D Settings. Select the
    Global Settings tab and use the Preferred graphics processor drop-down to select
    High-performance NVIDIA processor. Then hit the Apply button. You may need to restart your computer.

    Hope this helps. keep us posted on how to enable discrete graphics. We are happy to help!

    I tried running that fix earlier but it didn't find any NVidia updates to block. Anyway Windows 10 hasn't tried to update the driver for 6 hours so maybe my setting not to update is now working?

    I wouldn't bet on it. Next time Windows update runs it will do it again.

    I've run Windows Update manually but it didn't find any new NVidia drivers even though they exist.
