    Persistent refusal to disable "exclude driver update"


    I'm really happy that Microsoft Windows 10 is not an aircraft because I could never take off as there is always something that wouldn't work. It's probably them who developed the 737 Max MCAS flight control system....

    If it's not this, it's something else.
    Persistence since the preceding version 1909 I cannot update drivers.
    Back in 2019 in the PC settings control panel under "updates" under the top link, "view configured update policies" One policy shows persistently: "Exclude drivers from Windows quality updates" the same with the latest version and updates.

    I tried all the settings here as well as the how to info on other sites such as superuser, but nothing works.
    The problem is persistent the same.

    The same applies when I go do devices and printers and right-click on my computer (main PC) and select "device installation settings" the next window, "device installation settings." Both choices are grayed out as well as the "save changes" button.

    Thank you effing very much. Where is this damn setting? Why can't M$ give a hint/link, DUH!
    The same applies to any attempt to Enable or Disable Installation of Removable Devices in Windows.

    This leaves me with it with my RealTek USB3 card reader unable to read Sony memory sticks as I need to find that updated driver (which is another adventure)

    I went through the GP editor, but to no avail. I checked all possible registry settings and they apparently are all right (not configured) playing around with them and changing to either enable or disable and rebooting seems to make no change.

    Anyone know where that bug is?

    Argh!
