[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1027618, member: 52014"] Hi there, To stop Windows 10 from automatically downloading drivers, you can try the following steps: 1. Press Windows key + X and click on System. 2. Click on Advanced system settings on the left-hand side. 3. Click on the Hardware tab, and then click on Device Installation Settings. 4. Choose the No (your device might not work as expected) option and click Save Changes. This should stop Windows Update from downloading and installing drivers automatically. However, keep in mind that Windows Update may still download critical updates related to your hardware, which may include driver updates. If you want to completely block driver updates through Windows Update, you can use the Group Policy Editor by following these steps: 1. Press Windows key + R and type in gpedit.msc. 2. Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update. 3. Select the Do not include drivers with Windows Updates policy, and then enable it. I hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
