How to disable Windows 10 driver updates

You need to login to view this posts content.

 

For the record, which device driver?

 

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

 

I said nothing about unchecking anything, I said follow directions in OP

 

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.

 

This is doing no more than what he says on OP

It works on mine now, did not use to, but now yes

 

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
