Windows 10: Windows Update downloads new driver software for my display without permission

I am having issues with Windows Update, it downloads and installs new driver software for HD 630 and doesn't let me disable that. I don't want to update it because the old driver allows for display overclocking which is a great feature since my display goes up to 100Hz.

At the moment, I'm making sure Windows Update stays disabled via services.


This is ridiculous, even third party software updaters are more polite when it comes to updates, I should be able to decide what is updated, and what isn't, and most importantly: when.

Driver update software

Yes, not so simple with relative, anyway, after some test on my laptop(a lenovo g510 new model with crappy drivers) with some software, yes, this kind of software in best case repair the problem but broke something else, I find though a verry interesting approach with My-config software, it is free, it only show only the new drivers and only drivers certified by Microsoft, and it give you only direct link to drivers download, but on laptop I have tested, it have already instaled drivers, so something not going good with update part(I will try it again when I will get the new hdd, with a clean windows install),but yes , the safe route it is manufactured equipement(not individual hardware) and Windows update, now I will wait for first relative with a driver problem(usually not take long)...feel free to put your experience with that kind of software...
