    Windows 10 feature update with incompatible drivers - how does it work?


    Hello everybody,

    does anyone have practical experience of how Windows 10 behaved in past automatic version/feature updates if an incompatible driver was installed?
    Was the update simply not installed at all - without a message?
    Was the concerned hardware or driver listed?
    Was the update made and the incompatible driver was then replaced with the Microsoft "standard driver"?
    Or has it been updated and the device simply no longer worked correctly?

    I ask, because I sometimes install devices for friends and family to which I have no access until there is a problem.
    So I would like to disable driver updates via Windows Updates, however they should still be able to manually initiate an update in the event of problems using the device manager.

    Think that would be a good compromise.
    The update frequency via Windows Update is depending on the hardware installed just sick.
    I have devices here which according to the update history have received a good 40 drivers or extension infs over the past 6 months ... this can not go well in the long run.

    Thank you for any feedback!

    Greetings,
    Martin

    :)

    Windows 10 nVidia Driver Question

    With the Nov Update, Windows 10 became mature enough to give another try. Build 10586 (version 1511) runs great, feels snappy, and has no obvious problems. However, I'm concerned with this version's insistence on loading nVidia's 353.54 driver, which is dated July 13 2015, 4 months ago. On their US website they list all the new drivers as being compatible with Windows 10, (such as 358.91), but they won't load (installer says incompatible with this version of Windows, could find no compatible hardware...). The 353.54 driver runs games without any problems, but why is it taking so long to for nVidia to update this driver? Is it my 780 Ti that's incompatible or is it Windows 10?

    Windows 10 nVidia Driver Question

    It's a weird software problem I guess. Try GeForce Experience to upgrade it, maybe it works. I have a 780 Ti too and have the newest driver in Win 8.1, installed via GF Experience.
