[QUOTE="plat, post: 798573, member: 74969"] Well, with NVIDIA, I have to act very fast because as soon as I restart machine--even from DDU and safe mode-- Windows is already installing its ancient driver. I just installed a later NV driver not an hour ago to retest my routine, and it worked fine: +download and save desired NVIDIA driver, +uninstall current driver from Control Panel/Programs and Features, +disable [U] Device Install Service [/U] via services.msc +restart machine +enable Device Install Service and set to Manual +install newly downloaded NVIDIA driver. If driver fails to install, check if the above service is enabled and started. If GeForce Experience installs along with the driver, I always remove it and whack the telemetry services. Maybe there's an easier way but this has been good when I make a snap decision to update the driver. With clean install, I enable a group policy setting specifically for this but maybe disabling the above service would also do the trick--just have to remember to enable it right before you want to install a driver and then keep it enabled. I'll find out when it's time for the April 2019 update, though I've not had a problem with over-writing the Windows-installed chipset or Ethernet drivers yet. It's NVIDIA that always the problem and I never install over top of it. :mad: [/QUOTE]
