How to stop Win10 updating graphic driver!?

RejZoR · Oct 30, 2015

What the hell am I suppose to do to finally shut up god damn retarded Windows 10 driver updating? This bullshit will drive me insane.

Catalyst 15.7 that comes through Windows Update is BROKEN for AMD E-450 APU. It just doesn't work, it's slow as fuck and makes Youtube unusable even for 480p videos which is unacceptable.

I've disabled the driver updating in System panel, erased all drivers, installed Catalyst 14.12 WHQL for Win8.1 that actually works fine on Win10 even for Youtube, but after few hours, god damn retarded Windows 10 reinstalls the broken Catalyst 15.7 through Windows Update absolutely silently. I just notice everything works like shit and when I check display driver, it's the damn 15.7 again that's installed. Even if I do Driver Rollback, retarded Win10 AGAIN reinstalls it on its own after few hours. WHAT THE HELL!?

This is the EXACT reason why I was against moronic driver updating in Win10 and I fucking have to be the one affected by it. God damn Murphy's Law.

What else can I do for Windows 10 to stop updating the god damn driver!? This is insane.

Use O&O Shutup10 to disable it.

RejZoR · Oct 31, 2015

What the hell is with this retarded OS?! It just updated the god damn drivers AGAIN despite:

- disabling it in settings
- disabling it in gpedit
- disabling it in O&O Shutup 10

I haven't seen any malware this motherf**kin persistent as Windows 10 at updating god damn graphic drivers. It's freaking absurd. What moron at Microsoft thought forcing ALL updates on users without ANY choice of deselecting them like in Windows 8.1 was a good idea!? What the hell?!

This is pissing me off so badly and I can't do anything about it because Microsoft got this dumb idea to force driver updates and they are forcing this crap on to us despite monumental issues with it.

This laptop is going back to Windows 8.1 and MS can stick this rotten Windows 10 up their rear.

Its Sad to Say but I feel (with Microsoft forcing win 10 eventually on all legitimate win 7 and upward o/s ) your choices seem to be time limited even with reverting to win 8.1 they are going to try and "" Upgrade you for Free Again ""
Regret saying this but in order to avoid this in the future you might have to consider the unthinkable and either go linux ~~or non- legitimate and accept no updates~~ ( this is not a recommendation but a possible escape for you)

Win 7 is fine with me for now. If DX12 turns out to be a hit in a year or two then I will go Win 10.

Turn off UAC, run the O&O Shutup10 as an Administrator (left click on it and choose "Run as Adminstrator")
After, checking the settings, did you re-boot; then, install your older driver?
Turn UAC back on, if you want it on.
It works for me. Windows has not even offered me any driver updates since checking the option to turn it off.

If that app is not working for you; try Ashampoo's AntiSpy for Windows 10... it has the options to turn off driver updates, too. And, it is free to use, also.

Meanwhile, despite me formerly being as violently anti-W10 as @RejZoR because of driver updates, I have found the opposite. W10 has still not forced a graphics driver update on me.

I don't know if it's MS, or the fact I told GFE not to update, or what, but I'm at 3 versions behind. W10 has left Nvidia drivers alone.

dcf-joe · Oct 31, 2015

To follow what rtwjunkie has said, I am still on nVidia 355.60 which came out on August 13 this year.

I have only done two things pertaining to Windows Update on my copy of Windows 10 Pro x64. First thing was configuring automatic updates in gpedit.msc and then going to "view advanced system settings" -> hardware -> device installation settings -> No, let me choose what to do -> never install driver software from Windows Update -> Save Changes -> Restart computer.

Come to think of it, that's what I did. Pretty simple! So far no driver updates of any kind, and W10 has not rejected any of the drivers I update from manufacturers.

But this works only on the "Pro" version? Or at the Home version as well?
I don't use win10 at the moment, but it's nice to know since I may use later.

Xzibit · Oct 31, 2015

That method only works with Pro.

horik · Oct 31, 2015

Also on Win10 home and no auto-driver update.

No windows 10 for me then :shadedshu:

The gpedit part, yes, but the 2nd part works on home version.

So you are saying I don't have control what windows updates are getting installed on windows 10 home edition?

I use Win10 Home and it does not auto-update graphic drivers.

Thats most important to me, that I have full control over driver installations.
And with windows updates I'm used to make a restore point before I install any updates, since windows 10 home installs windows updates automatically, does it make restore points before installing just like it went on win7? I have to do it manually on windows 8.1.

FordGT90Concept · Oct 31, 2015

This is the only way I know of to do it:
http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/t...it-install-of-specific-windows-update.216367/

The catch is, you have to hide the update when Windows Update is aware of it but hasn't yet installed it.

unclewebb · Oct 31, 2015

Here is my simple fix for Windows 10 home.

Just disable the Windows Update insanity and problem solved.
Maybe 6 months from now there might be something important but until then, why bother updating anything.

Cheeseball · Oct 31, 2015

Would this help in your case?

Looks like I'll have to install this later as it's pissing off my Catalyst install as well.

RejZoR · Nov 3, 2015

I don't want to disable updates, that's stupid. I just want Windows to stop forcing god damn graphic drivers on this system.

Instead of improving security by delivering updates to more users they are forcing users into disabling Windows Update because it's so god damn annoying. The exact opposite effect in regards for better security...

brandonwh64 · Nov 3, 2015

This is a easy thing to do! Right click the start button and go to control panel then go to system icon. on the left hand side go to advanced system settings. Click the hardware tab then click device installation settings. In this window you will be able to turn windows driver installs off.

There is a workaround i'm using successfuly since 2 months described at Guru3D
I suggest to create a system restore point before using it.

In your case you have to replace the title with "AMD*" of course.
