Windows 10: What do I do to get rid of these updates

I freshly installed a Windows 10 Enterprise OS in my desktop and am having problems with the Intel MEI and NVIDIA Graphics Card driver that are available from Windows Updates. Here are the things that I did (in chronological order):

1.) Install Windows 10 Enterprise fresh.

2.) It started downloading missing Windows Updates (including the Intel MEI and NVIDIA Graphics Card driver themselves) and a couple of other Windows updates like security updates and normal OS updates.

3.) While those updates are downloading, I disabled automatic installation of Windows drivers (nobody wants that feature anyways) as I want to install the latest drivers that I got from the manufacturer's website.

4.) While those updates are still downloading, I installed the updated Intel MEI and NVIDIA Graphics Card drivers and had to reboot the machine in between.

5.) When the updates finally finished downloading, the security updates and normal OS updates installed just fine (which I expected) but I really didn't know if those Intel MEI and NVIDIA drivers will "overwrite" the latest drivers that are already installed. Interestingly enough, the Windows Updates service did not overwrite the existing latest drivers but instead gave me a "failed to install" message on those drivers. It also gave me a "can't installed update. select this message to fix" error message in the lower-right hand corner of the screen. I then tried to reinstall the updates (clicking "retry now" and "install now" along the way) hoping that the OS will recognize that the latest drivers are already installed and it won't bug me again with those updates (this is usually the case in Windows 8.1 and below OS'es) but apparently it kept on insisting that these updates are available and needs to be installed. They still keep failing to install until now.

6.) I tried clearing the SoftwareDistribution folder and checking for updates again and the same things happens.

7.) I tried using wushowhide.diagcab to hide these udpates but the tool doesn't detect these updates as available updates for the system

So I'm really at a loss here. What do I do to get rid of these?P

Please help. Thanks.

how do i get rid of these?

Please run a system file check (SFC) & DISM if you are on win 8 or higher

how do i get rid of these?

i tried both the SFC a few times and DISM a few times and neither found any "integrity violations"

the computer is running slow and the red sign with the little x on it is intermittently on the sound and networking icons on the taskbar (wifi & audio work most of time )

I connected to IT assistants through Microsoft windows 10 online (they controlled my cursor and checked things like drivers etc.) and it was to no avail the red signs went away, I thanked them for their assistance, and lo & behold, they come back after
I disconnect from them.

I went to win10 from win7 and have 2gb ram (would've changed to 4gb if the stick actually worked) I upgraded from a single core AMD to dual core. my cpu is 35watt instead of 25 watt.

I'm pulling straws here. Maybe I have a corruption or virus? I don't want to reset unless I really have to as I have so many apps downloaded.

ATTN: new update! I asked Microsoft answer tech and he said the computer is fine and just wait for November win10 update since it will solve common bugs

 

Use IE and download all patches manual from Microsoft Update Catalog

 

I wouldn't want to do that because these are unnecessary drivers that are already installed. Any other advice?

 

Have you also stopped windows update services before cleaning up the folder?

net stop bits
net stop cryptSvc
net stop msiserver
net stop UsoSvc
taskkill /im TiWorker.exe /f
net stop wuauserv
rmdir "%systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\Download" /s /q

Also try running windows cleanup tool afterwards:

cleanmgr /sageset:65535 & cleanmgr /sagerun:65535

You could try those 2 as well (ResetBase slash will preevent you from uninstalling latest updates):

Dism /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
