Beware: Windows Update installed Nvidia driver even if it's not supposed to
« on: October 14, 2024, 01:41:14 pm »
Just had windows 10 update on two of my PC's install the latest Nvidia driver!

This caused a black screen on my TV's, making me reboot to figure out what had happened. This was regardless of using:
Advanced System Settings > Hardware > Device Installation Settings = NO

I don't think that setting applies to Windows Update.

You can disable driver updates with a Policy setting (unless you're on Win10 Home):
  • Use the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut to open the Run command.
  • Type gpedit.msc and click OK to open the Local Group Policy Editor.
  • Browse the following path:
    Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update
  • On the right side, double-click the Do not include drivers with Windows Update policy.
  • Select the Enabled option.
  • Click Apply.
  • Click OK.
