Windows 10: The difference between "Don't include drivers with Windows Update" vs "Device Installation...

Hello,I want to permanently disable automatic drivers update. Of course, I want to keep the Windows operating system updates.In other words, I just want to manually install drivers for my computer via the device manufacturer's website not via Windows Updates.On the internet, I found two methods of getting this behavior:Using the Group Policy Editor and setting "Don't include drivers with Windows Update" to EnabledGo to "System Properties > Hardware > Device Installation Settings", and setting "No your device...."May I ask what is the difference between the two options?

Can't update to current ATi drivers

In my previous attemps to update drivers I went through the complete process you mentioned, but using driver sweeper...I don't really know if there is any difference between the two programs, but sweeper was recommended by the sticky post here on how to update drivres...so that is what I used when first trying to update.

Any how I just followed your pervious suggestion and down loaded and installed v8.10 over the old drivers. I also tried to updated directly from the device manager...but it kept telling me I have the most recent version, which in device mgr now says v8.54.....But after using CCC to search for the most current drivers which were the 8.10 that I installed, CCC is listing in the Info Ctr under graphic software, Driver package version 8.541 (which are digital signer by MS) and Catalyst Version 08.10.

So I'm guessing that even though the device mgr lists current drivers at 8.541, my drivers are infact updated to 8.10 in the CCC ?

Man this is making me dizzy.... *Twitch :twitch:
