Title: Beware: Windows Update installed Nvidia driver even if it's not supposed to
Post by: tzr916 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

M$ sneaky

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.
