Is there any way to disable automatic driver installation from Windows Update for device without inbox drivers without completely disabling drivers from Windows Update? I mean, I dont want Windows to automatically install any driver (looking at GPU drivers mostly), but still being able to manually search and download drivers from Windows Update. Sorta like it was in previous Windows versions. Is this still possible in 22H1? I managed to block automatic installation completely with Group Policy setting "Prevent installation of devices not described by other policy settings” but this also block installing removable devices automatically which is obviously not what would anyone want outside of corp environment.
Yes, of course, this option is not the best, use it Code: Computer Configuration => Administrative Templates => Windows Components => Windows Updates => Do not Include drivers with Windows Updates Or the same, add manually registry key/rule Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UpdatePolicy\PolicyState] "ExcludeWUDrivers"=dword:00000001 NB! But don't forget to undo your previous change!
