I cant speak for him but myself I am using the older drivers made for win8.1 oem and they have not updated yet and its been three days. I know for a fact there are newer drivers for mine but since I changed that setting they havent tried to update at all. Other updates and drivers were installed but my older drivers are still active and not updating. Three old drivers I have to use: -intel hd graphics -wireless 7260 -realtek audio with beats audio The above old drivers are the ones that work in win10 without any issues. The newer drivers from M$ muck my system up.
I had two display adapters, default monitor drivers, I uninstalled one still has not come back, I have tried over 50 times to uninstall that driver, always came back until now
Installed 15007 day ago, setup this build properly (uncheck driver downloads in Control Panel and in Settings app). After ethernet conncetion was established, my laptop was full of drivers
Oh, i missed second post in this thread. So, basically it won't stop load drivers from Net! What option in gpedit.msc should prevent driver downloads? (since it should work now. I'll check it)
I block driver updates like this. First I add these two registry entries: Code: reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions" /v "DenyDeviceIDs" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "1" /f Code: reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions" /v "DenyDeviceIDsRetroactive" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "0" /f Then, I get the PCI ID of the device I want to prevent driver changes to (Device Manager -> Device properties -> Details -> Hardware IDs -> First line) Next, I run this (the PCI ID mentioned above in this example is PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_191B&SUBSYS_105B1025&REV_06): Code: reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions\DenyDeviceIDs" /v "1" /t "REG_SZ" /d "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_191B&SUBSYS_105B1025&REV_06" /f Drivers are now untouchable (assuming MS doesn't override that of course). Anytime you want to change the driver yourself, or just want WU to handle it, you'll have to lift the restriction, which can be done by deleting the above entry (1 in this case): Code: reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions\DenyDeviceIDs" /v "1" /f Multiple drivers can be blocked like this, but the device ID name has to have a separate number for each entry.
Thank you, i'll use firewall to stop any traffic, as I always did before. <:3 And manual installation of updates, of course.
I do updates manually too and never disabled bits service. Nothing ever updated unless the windows update service was turned on. I've been doing it like this since 10 went RTM.
If you dont get all your updates then this method probably wont work. The updates is what corrected it and it has been working for myself and others. Still no driver updates, only system updates. I mentioned this before. lol
I always do this + the GPEDIT one. gpedit.msc - computer config - admin - win components - win update - do not include drivers
Hello The_Guardian, I got Your Nickname from Mister_X. He wrote me that I can ask You about Windows 10. Can You write me any advice to Windows 10. I use this Os on Fujitsu H730 and realy I don't know what do, because OEM drivers are old. Should I update drivers for example from intel, nividia etc? Windows 10 changes a lot of my devices drivers. Now I use this with Windows update off. I tried a lot of to block windows update but nothing works. Regards
You would probably have better luck in case he does not see this of sending him a PM , just click on his avatar and you'll see it.
Lobo11 I can't send PM because I am here new Maybe You can give my any advice to Windows 10 ? Regards
If you get all your updates then turn that feature off like in first post of this thread, restart. You should now be able to turn off driver updates or roll them back and install what ever driver works for you. What I did was use M$ media creator tool to download and create media then when installed get all updates from M$, restart, turn off that option to not download driver updates like on first post, restart and install what driver you know works. For me I have to use HP oem drivers for win10 display, wireless and beats audio. They havent updated via windows update yet. Note: This requires you to get ALL M$ updates for it to work. If you dont get all the updates, this method is useless because it's an update that fixes it.
