  1. Windows Update is paused but it keeps installing drivers


    I've tried:

    • Updates are paused till 4th Feb 2020
    • Kept all connections as metered connections
    • Removed old driver files using Driver Store Explorer
    • Registry
    • Group policy
    • Hid sound driver using "Show or Hide updates" troubleshooter

    These sound driver updates are greyed out/unclickable in Update history. Sometimes

    Realtek (Windows Update keeps forcing this one): The one forced by Windows Update. It installs a DTS control panel. It is useless except the equaliser. No sound customisations at all. Groups all speakers/headphones as one. Microphones do not work. Sounds okay. Breaks stream (need to reload webpage) if I disconnect the headphone.

    Realtek/Microsoft Default (I want this): Default driver installed by Windows. A few options are available. Sounds the best. All audio devices work perfectly. Headphone virtualisation available.

  2. Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.

    If you having an issue installing a driver that worked before you formatted or wont install on a fresh build, sometimes this means hardware damage

  4. Windows Update is paused but it keeps installing drivers

    Windows update keeps replacing ALPS Touchpad driver with a Synaptics driver.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

    I suggest you to uninstall and delete the previous drivers and the latest drivers for the touchpad and install the required version of the driver from Device Manager by following the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + X and select Device Manager from the list.
    • Expand the Touch pad driver.
    • Right click on the driver and click on update/install.
    • Select the required version from the on-screen prompts.

    And for the problem with the installation of printer drivers, I suggest you to run the Windows Update troubleshooter by following the steps below:

    • Type “Troubleshooting” in search box and press Enter.
    • Click on “View All” option on top left pane.
    • Select “Windows Update” from the list and follow the prompts for troubleshooting.

    Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to
    write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.
