Windows 10: NVIDIA Display Driver showing in Win11 Windows Update after using Show/Hide updates tool

HiI do not have an NVIDIA graphics card installed however recently win11 update downloaded NVIDIA Display driver. Fortunately i have auto install disabled.I had hoped using the wushowhide tool would hide the update but it is still showing the update at status Install i.e. ready for install .Is there an updated version of wushowhide for win11 that will hid this update?

:)

 

KB3073930 will not hide Nvidia driver update


As said before, if you already have latest drivers, there is nothing newer in Windows Update to download. The show/hide tool lists the NEW available updates. If the nVidia driver on Microsoft server is OLDER than the driver currently installed, then obviously it is not available as an update because it is older, so you should not see it in the list to hide it. If after some days a new driver is released, then it will be available in the list, unless you install the same version of something even newer directly from nVidia.

In other words, if you keep your nVidia drivers updated, you don't have to worry about them being replaced by Windows Update. The show/hide tool is useful for older nVidia cards that do not have any newer official driver, so we use it to hide any non-working "newer" Microsoft driver.

If you have already download the latest official driver from nVidia, there is nothing newer in Windows Update, and this explains why you cannot see the driver update. The show/hide tool shows only available updates. The available nVidia driver is probably older than the one you have currently installed, so it will not normally install, and hence it will not shown in the list to hide it.

I pride myself in researching and figure things out but just can't get this one.
I know I have the most recent NVidia driver from their website. My video is gone.
I also know all about the show/hide "troubleshooter" (should be called fix a bad MS decision shooter)...anyway, it works fine with several items. However the Nvidia driver update does not show on the list of items in the troubleshooter it can hide!
So, it keeps showing up with the updates that I DO WANT to download.

Even stranger, some updates showed in the troubleshooter that were not showing in my windows update dialog.

But anyway, the real issue is that I need to hide that Nvidia driver. Any suggestions?

This is a little crazy. I might be okay with OS updates being pushed more but NOT drivers.

Thanks,
