[Windows 10] hide/prohibit install of specific Windows Update

Hi Anand,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. Let me assist you.

I suggest you to perform a Driver Roll Back so that the driver goes back to the previous (working) state.

Steps:-

• Press “Windows + X” and select Device manager.
• Select Display Adapter and expand the driver icon.
• Right click on the driver icon and click on Properties.
• Go to Driver tab.
• Select Roll Back Driver.

Later, try the steps provided by Rohit Chettri in the below thread link to block the updates for that specific driver.
