  1. Windows 10 keeps automatically installing faulty drivers when I insert the adapter


    So the Xbox One Controller for Windows 10 Adapter has been breaking for me every week or two. This time it's been broken for over a week and nothing will fix it. Out of nowhere, the driver has disappeared from the 2019 version to the 2017 version, which doesn't function. One day it's 2019 and then the next the 2017 version is the one installed.

    It installs a driver automatically which then stops the device from working. So I uninstall it and delete it. I rescan for hardware in Device Manager and it instantly installs the faulty driver again.

    It's nothing to do with power management, nor is it to do with Windows Update. I've spent hours looking into both of those.

  2. Automatic GPU drivers installed

    Hey guys for the past 6 months I've been running a gtx 580 and I've just sent it back today as part of the step up program to get the gtx 680. For the next 2 weeks I will be using my old 9800 gtx+. I installed the card and booted the computer and upon getting to the windows screen, windows searched automatically online and installed drivers. I rebooted and checked the driver version, and sure enough, it had found and installed the latest drivers for my card.

    I've always manually installed drivers by starting up the nvidia process and all that, what windows did, was it a sufficient driver install? When I get the gtx 680, I'm assuming it will do this again, would it be a smart idea to manually install the driver or would windows version do the exact same thing? Thanks guys.

    Stop windows automatic driver install

    I'm having a problem with installing a nvidia card. windows 7 automatically installs some wdm 1.1 drivers, then when i install the 195.39 drivers, it gives me less performance. like the cards lags in games when it should run fine.

    how can i stop windows from installing the drivers automatically ?

    i tried checking the "don't install drivers from windows update" in device manager. it still installs it.
