  1. Windows 10 Automatic Driver Updates Hell Corner


    So it's been a month that i have been having a glitching windows that i have been clueless at first of why it is doing that , been having "Stub" errors on running anything that requires administrative rights from first go then works from the second go , at first received error I lose Cortana , Search capability and the ability to type in windows settings and apps . Unlike most who probably would reinstall windows just like that and wonder about people who don't , you should know that in this world there are people who install zillions of programs and apps for work and entertainment that would take them months of precious free time to get everything back in place again .

    So my first attempts to fix this were recommendations by Microsoft themselves all over the internet to use SFC and Dism which did nothing really , up till i came across a Youtube video that its owner related most "Stub" errors to Nvidia drivers , I went on to check my driver in device manager only to find its version number changed , I know my device version number because it is my favorite version , it runs everything faster than any other version . So I just installed it back again and wooo all "Stub" errors were gone !

    Happy with my finding I went on to continue with my life only to find "Stub" errors coming back later making me believe its not a driver problem , but checking again and yes , pretty windows managed to reinstall its glitchy driver again silently ...

    (-Edit 1- Yes I did attempt rolling driver back , it still does update again later .)

    So here is what the internet offered me and here is how it failed miserably and driver kept coming back :

    So bottom line : Yea , you do not own your laptop any more and now if Microsoft wants you to believe its upgrade time they would just throw few drivers on you that would render your system glitchy or like a snail and you can't really do much about it and surprisingly forums tend to copy solution from across ancient platforms believing they all may apply to Windows 10 while they don't , so if you can read this STOP it , Windows 10 is a B!%@#

    (-Edit 2- Apparently Microsoft acknowledges Windows Updates Drivers were all messed up in all previous versions to 1607 )
    Although considering I was on that build 14393 which is a valid 16xx version it still didn't work for me , now that I upgraded to build 15063 version 1703 solutions up starting 4 are now working so meh apparently its 2+ years already and Windows 10 is still a work in progress . This kinda explains how the "Windows Live" term originated in their minds . 8)

    Bluetooth headset paired, but can't connect

    Right click on the Windows pane at the very bottom left corner. Click on Device Manager. Find Bluetooth and right click on the options there. Click Update Driver and Search Automatically.

    I had the opposite problem after the Windows 10 Creators Update. It automatically updated a Bluetooth driver that doesn't work for me. I finally found it by comparing the dates of both and they matched. So I rolled back the update. You can do that by
    following the above and then choose Browse My Computer For Driver Software. When I clicked on that it gave me the option of my previous driver.

  3. New Lumia 800 update has halved my new phones battery life a day and a half to 16 hours?

    Just tried that and it works until the update automatically reinstals again, what the hell is going on?

    Windows 10 Automatic Driver Updates Hell Corner

    If you wish, if disabling (hiding) a specific update hasn't worked for you, you can disable all driver updates.

    Please see the Tutorial section. There's one there on that.

    I think you're saying the problem is with Nvidia.. suggest you look at the options for that:

    I.e. the updates AREN'T being delivered by Windows update, so the above methods on drivers won't have any effect

  9. Not only have I seen or tried , I have strong doubts they were copied without checking if they as solutions do work for windows 10 , for instance : http://winsupersite.com/site-files/w...nstallhero.png this window is often shown in tutorials where i believe it is copied from Windows 8.1 form , while actual Windows 10 form looks like this : https://images.scdn8.secure.raxcdn.c...s-expected.jpg

    also my problem isn't Nvidia carrying out the update , it's Windows Update pushing it in on me , and silently installing it and shows an entry of attempt in Updates History .

  10. You can cripple Windows Update, that will prevent installing drivers as well.

    Like by disabling "Network List Service" or even "Network Location Awareness".

    Of course, you need to clean Update's cache to prevent it from being installed from there. Code: del "%WINDIR%\Installer\$PatchCache$" /s /f /q del "%WINDIR%\SoftwareDistribution" /s /f /q del "%WINDIR%\WinSxS\Backup" /s /f /q[/quote]
    By reinstalling, all of your programs should remain installed, it should just fix Windows.

    Ok, so set your updates to Notify - that means you get notification in your action centre, then you click on the notification, and Settings opens and you can see what the updates are.

    did that , the driver installs silently and an entry is shown in Updates History without any pause or notification or acceptance .

    As none of the standard techniques work for you, suggest there's something amiss.

    You might need to do an in-place upgrade repair install which keeps all programs and data and most settings and see if that fixes anything for you.

    Unless there's a particular peculiarity about Nvidia updates:

    - which turns out to be an old story.. note
    You say it isn't this:

  15. The question is does the standard techniques work for anybody really ?

    Mind you that apparently its not a system error since I got to find out through fixing tutorials that "Stub" errors are mostly caused by Nvidia faulty drivers and having them replaced is recommended to fix them.

    Also There is a catch , I am as common as so many users where my laptop ships with Windows 8.1 and i received Windows 10 two years ago as an update , and then I managed to recently buy an upgrade serial from Home to Pro version . I was kind of old school thinking that to upgrade to Pro i needed a setup CD/ISO that i would use to do the upgrade then activate via the serial , I downloaded few RTM ISOs and attempted to use them for upgrades but they all gave out incompatibility errors with my version , I had to contact Microsoft where they directed me to use the serial in Activation form rather and thus i received the Pro as a software update that took less than 10 minutes to accomplish . So the problem would be to find a compatible ISO in my case or else my options are down to System Reset ! not unless anybody know a way around .
