Windows 10: How to prevent Windows Update from updating a specific driver

My laptop is equipped with two graphics controllers, one from Intel Intel UHD embedded in the CPU and a second one from NVIDIA NVIDIA GeForce MX. When installing Windows drivers, the video is distorted, it appears the transfer from one card to the other isn't working properly. When I install the latest drivers from both suppliers, the issue is solved.It's now the third time Windows Update automatically installs a Intel driver which re-introduces the problem again. How can I prevent Windows Update from updating the Intel and NVIDIA graphics drivers?

I have never intentionally used windows to provide my device drivers (except for older printers without Vendor drivers for clients). I only manually update from the vendor websites. Will just have to make a list of things to disable/remove if I finally decide to load it up on a machine.

yep it does. the fairly simple group policy edit lets you keep the service running but stops the forced check/download, allowing you to:
A: ignore windows update until you forcibly update
B: use the tool i linked above before doing A: to prevent certain downloads from updating drivers
C: still use device manager to windows update specific drivers, disabling the service breaks this.
