. . .Whatever. . .*Smile

. . .go here to download the tool

 

Can't you hide them within WU, or was that feature removed?

 

. . .Why do you think Microsoft released this too. . .

 

Or even here to show the tutorial Shawn did a week ago: Windows Updates - Hide or Show in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums *Redface

 

The tutorial states:

Seems to me a better choice would be:

Deleting the driver could leave the device unusable.

Just a thought.

 

Then WU on the next check would reinstall the bad driver.

 

Which tutorial are you looking at Ztruker - the one I referenced above Windows Updates - Hide or Show in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums says:
2. If this is an unwanted installed Windows Update, then uninstall the update.
3. If this is an unwanted driver that was installed via Windows Update but cannot be uninstalled using step 2 above, then uninstall the driver in Device Manager.
4. Download the wushowhide.zip file at Microsoft below for the Show or hide updates troubleshooter package.
5. Save the wushowhide.zip file to your desktop.
6. Open the wushowhide.zip file and extract (drag and drop) the wushowhide.diagcab file to your desktop.
7. Double click/tap on the extracted wushowhide.diagcab file to open it, and click/tap on Advanced.
8. Check the Apply repairs automatically box, and click/tap on Next.
9. Click/tap on the Hide updates option.
10. Check the box of any available updates that you want to hide, and click/tap on Next.
11. The selected updates are now hidden. Click/tap on Close when finished.

Without the update uninstalled, it will not be available on the updates list for download so that the Microsoft Utility can hide it.

Once hidden it will not be reinstalled.

Roll back is ok, but not always available if the driver is the first one for that device installed, and any device driver available for rollback may not be a good one either (on the other hand it could be OK).

Once you have uninstalled a driver, you normally need to reboot for the removal to take effect. If Windows cannot find a driver for a device on reboot it goes back to the driverstore, and reinstalls it!
It says here and here that using Device Manager you must also delete the package from the driverstore:

Deleting a Driver Package from the Driver Store

On the Confirm Device Removal dialog box, click the Delete the driver software for this device option to delete the driver package that was used for the device.

 

Keep up the good work Microsoft. *Smile Anything else we won't be able to change or loose control of? *Smile I'm curious.

 

Good point labeman and Fafhrd. I was referring to the link Lee posted.
