    Manually updating specific driver


    I want to install my iGPU's updates through AMD's Adrenalin app however I still find it convenient to install updates of all other drivers through Windows update, is there a way I can achieve this? If the only option is to disable all driver updates entirely, what is an easy way to manually update all my drivers? I don't even know of which device drivers I need to look out updates for..

    :)

  2. Valve, AMD Team Up to Provide Gamers with Easy ATI Catalyst Driver Updates on Steam

    I see this as a nice step.

    I do see an issue though. Lets say the new drivers suck or just suck on your specific setup. You revert to the older driver manually right? Then what you boot up steam only to be screwed into updating?

    Windows 10 Manual Updates Management

    I have just installed windows 10. When windows 10 is updating (and only when its updating) there is a chance the system will randomly hang/freeze.

    This is very annoying and happens often but, only when updating.

    In an attempt to avoid this problem, I have decided to manually download and install updates.

    To do so, I have to do the following.

    1. Disable Windows 10 automatic updates.
    2. While windows 10 updates are disabled find and list all the required updates (preferable with a dependency tree of some kind)
    3. Download the required updates manually.
    4. Install the required updates manually.

    I was able to figure out the steps (1) and (3) (and I'm guessing step (4) is a simple execution)

    How should I go about achieving step (2)?

    [Windows 10] hide/prohibit install of specific Windows Update

    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.
