Windows 10: Windows keeps toggling automatic driver installations...

I'm aware there's an option to "prevent" windows from downloading and installing drivers on it's own.

It seems however, that windows changes this setting whenever there's a big update...

Could this be disabled please? it's "hard" enough to find the setting that a regular user wouldn't know about it existing.


It's quite annoying to keep having to turn stuff off, because windows "thinks" it should be on and automatically do further stuff...

I'm not updating certain drivers for a reason be it performance, features, stability, trust.


So please, stop changing settings willy nilly when I CHOSE to disable a feature...


Best regards,


Dirk

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.
