  1. Windows 10 updates change drivers to ones that do not work


    Is there a way to update Windows 10 WITHOUT having that Windowsupdate change drivers?



    I realize that starting with 1909 and going forward,Microsoft tried to solve an issue with drivers via the updates it is indocumentation concerning 1909 on. Butthis created multiple problems for people with older systems that were runningfine, but probably running drivers that were not on the current 3rdparty list contained in Microsoft updates. It is not important to delve into system specifics since this changeaffects many systems in different ways. I had the latest BIOS and drivers before updating.



    In my case, I tried updating from 1809 to 1909, and againwith 1809 to 20H2, both via the Media Creation Tool. The update completed and the PC rebooted. I even had the Group Policy Editor set tokeep my correct drivers drivers that were of vintage CY2018 for my video and RealTecaudio. However, upon both updates, thosedrivers were replaced with obsolete antique Microsoft generic PnP drivers fromCY2006 that do not work. Audio, therewas no sound. Video got reduced from twoone extended monitors of 1920x1080 to 1024x768 recommended but bestpossible 1280x1024. And these powerfulupdates refused to allow me to restore the correct and much more recent driversalbeit, 3rd party. AlthoughI am not certain, I feel that if I could only retain the modern correctdrivers or reinstall them, those updates would otherwise be successful.



    In both cases I had to revert back to 1809. I reported the issue via the Feedback Hub appat the Start Menu last time, but heardnothing and have just discovered the issue remains with 20H2.



    So my question: is there a way to update beyond Windows 10 1809 and keepthe most recent 3rd party drivers that I know to work for my hardware?

    :)

    Keyboard not working after Windows 10 Update

    Hi,

    Have you tried updating
    your mouse and keyboard driver? If not, we suggest you to do so. There is a possibility that the driver is not compatible with the new Windows 10 update. However, one
    of the workarounds that we suggest for your mouse and keyboard to work is to update the driver. If the symptom persist, you can run the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter. To run the Troubleshooter, follow these steps:


    • On your search bar, type
      Troubleshooting.

    • Change the view to
      View all.

    • Choose
      Hardware and Devices
      and run the troubleshooter.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards.
