Windows 10: PLEASE MICROSOFT I AM BEGGING YOU. STOP UPDATING DRIVERS ON MY DEVICE WITHOUT USERS PERMISSION.

I was pretty mad and was trying to speak some bad words, but I will hold back my tongue and try to be calm.Today, I found that the tool I use for my work is reacting very, very slowly.I thought my laptop was the problem, but long story short, it was Windows. Windows installed or replaced Nvidia's graphics driver with its legacy driver, and the tool Blender was working so slowly because it couldn't get the necessary acceleration from the proper Nvidia driver.I am pretty sure I installed the driver before, and it was working fine.I have another problem with the USB-C driver.

How to stop Win10 updating graphic driver!?

Since when does this method work?.. We had a thread about this issue, right before July 29, and everybody confirmed that it does nothing on RTM build. Hence why Microsoft had to release a standalone troubleshooting module that would allow users to block certain drivers offered through WU.
