    How to prevent Windows 11 Home from automatically updating the driver for a specific device?


    I recently installed the latest AMD graphic driver for my computer, but Windows Update keeps automatically downgrading the driver to an older version. I need to use the latest driver for my work, and I want to prevent Windows from updating this driver automatically. I have tried disabling the automatic driver updates in Windows Update settings, but it does not seem to work for this specific driver. I also cannot use the Group Policy Editor since I am on Windows 11 Home. How can I prevent Windows from automatically updating the driver for my AMD GPU?Thank you.

    :)

    Is there any way to prevent automatic driver updates?

    Search tutorials list
    Windows 10 Tutorial Index
    for driver

    Specific:
    Prevent Windows Update from Updating Specific Device Driver

    All:
    Turn On or Off Device Driver Automatic Installation in Windows 10

    Not via WU:
    Enable or Disable Driver Updates in Windows Update in Windows 10

    Disable particular update:
    Hide or Show Windows Updates in Windows 10

    - and see linked list of related tutorials below the main text

    Note that occasionally updates are handled by means other than Windows Update.

    And if none of those work for YOU (for whatever reason, technical or personal preference) then take complete control using a free 3rd party program which allow you to manually scan and choose what to download. E.g. Option 7
    Enable or Disable Windows Update Automatic Updates in Windows 10
