Does anyone know how to prevent Windows from downloading some manufacturers applications? I have it all set to disabled (also used StopWinUpdates by Baltagy), installed just the drivers for the hardware however Windows still likes to add an app or two for some hardware. For example, I have Thunderbolt 4 on my laptop and after installing just the .inf drivers, Windows decides I need the 'Thunderbolt device application' which does nothing more than identify what is plugged in to the Thunderbolt ports. I have also disabled 'download manufacturers apps and icons'
