Windows 10: When might an available driver update actually be offered?

Hi, I uninstalled my v19 Synaptics driver, rolling back to an older version after 2 syntp.sys BSODS with v19.

I then thought I'd hide v19, which was installed by Win update some months after I installed v16, but scans with wushowhide.diagcab over the last week don't show it.

I'm just beginning to wonder how long I should expect for such an update to be offered. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

:)

 

Revert event/update to onboard graphics drivers

Hi Clark, thanks for the reply!

Prior to posting this question, I was actually in chat with Microsoft tech support for a while, and gardenman's suggestion is what they had me try. There were 3 different AMD drivers and a Microsoft Basic Display Driver available in the "Let me pick from
a list of available drivers" window, and we tried all of them with no improvement. I will note, however, that we did not experience the usual screen flicker when swapping between the different AMD drivers (although it did happen when changing to or from the
Microsoft driver), which made me think that maybe the 3 AMD drivers were actually the same ones.

The tech support specialist that I spoke to suggested a System Restore as the next logical step moving forwards. I wasn't quite ready to take that step at the time, but would you agree that this is the next thing to try?

unsigned driver continually being offered to install

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. Let me assist you.

Provide us with the below details for better clarity on the issue.

• Why don’t you want the update to install?
• Did you make any changes to the computer prior to the issue?

I suggest you to use the Update Troubleshooter and try installing the update without the error.

Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with Update. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your Windows update.

Refer these steps:

• Press Windows key + X, select Control panel.
• Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.
• Click on Troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel.
• Run the Windows Update troubleshooter.
• Restart the system and check if the issue is resolved.

You cannot stop Automatic Windows updates on Windows 10 but you can block certain updates for any particular driver if you think it will be hampering the performance of the hardware. I suggest you to refer the steps provided by
Rohit Chettri on the below thread link to block update of a driver software.

I suggest you to uninstall and delete the previous drivers and the latest drivers for the touchpad and install the required version of the driver from Device Manager by following the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X and select Device Manager from the list.
• Expand the Touch pad driver.
• Right click on the driver and click on update/install.
• Select the required version from the on-screen prompts.

And for the problem with the installation of printer drivers, I suggest you to run the Windows Update troubleshooter by following the steps below:

• Type “Troubleshooting” in search box and press Enter.
• Click on “View All” option on top left pane.
• Select “Windows Update” from the list and follow the prompts for troubleshooting.
