Windows 10: My friend installed a windows update that broke his wireless driver.

2 or 3 days ago a friend installed a windows update , and after it was done , he restarted the pc and his wireless driver was not working. We just reinstalled it , and it was working again. Probably windows update installed a driver that was not compatible with his system . Can you prevent windows update from updating drivers?
