Windows 10: Why does WU downgrade my graphic driver?

Hello.
I'm using a Nvidia GTX 1080Ti graphic card, and about a week ago there arrived a new WHQL-driver 430.86.
But 1. of June there came a hotfix driver 430.97, that I installed. But now Windows Update downgrade my driver again to ver 430.86. Why is that? I know the hotfix driver is not WHQL-certified, but that has never been an issue before.

How do I stop W.U. from downgrading my graphic-driver?

:)
