Windows 10: Unable to hide NVIDIA Driver update

I am attempting to hide the driver update for my NVIDIA Grapgics card as the one from Microsoft causes me problems.

I am using this program from this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3073930

It doesn't matter how many times I run it the Driver update will not hide and therefore I am unable to update my computer without installing this troublesome update.

update install issues

Then just hide the Office updates.

 

Driver power state failure

The newest driver of Nvidia which your system has installed is somewhat buggy as I can see a lot of users reporting the same BSOD. The way out you have:

First of all, remove everything of Nvidia using DDU and install the older driver available from Nvidia's website,

Nvidia DDU:

Reboot and Install the driver.

The next step would be to block WU to install the buggy driver update. For this, download:

Click on "Hide updates" option and you'll be able to hide the desired update given in the list.

 

Hello mrnapolean1, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

You might see if turning off automatic device driver installation may be able to help.

What I am trying to do is install Updates from WU but In order to get those updates I am forced to install the update for my Graphics card. I do not use Microsoft Driver updates as they do nothing but cause trouble.

I only install NVIDIA drivers from geforce.com.

I just wish Microsoft didn't change Windows Update.

 

@mrnapolean1
You are not the first person complaining that WuShowHide does not hide/block a driver graphic card update.
I don't know if it is a bug or by design whatever the reason.

Anyway, the solution provided by Brink should stop Microsoft device driver automatic updates, but still allow other kinds of Windows updates other than drivers. Besides you can download and install the manufacturer device driver from the Nvidia control panel, checking for updates.
