How to prevent a specific Windows 10 Update or Driver from installing.

In Windows 10 there is no way to block the installation of a particular Windows Update(s) through ‘Update & Security’ settings, like in the previous Windows versions (Windows 7 or Windows Vista).

In Windows 10 the Windows Updates are set to be automatically installed, in order to keep your device always updated. In the other hand, several times, a Windows update, or an updated device driver, can cause significant problems on your computer operation and there is the need to uninstall it and then to block the specific update or driver from reinstalling in the future, until Microsoft fixes the issue(s) with it.

To fix problems with specific updates, Microsoft has released a tool that can block (hide) a specific unwanted Windows Update or Driver from reinstalling again on your system. The tool is called «Show or hide updates» and applies to Windows 10 based computers.

In this tutorial you can find detailed instructions on how to use the «Show or hide updates» tool, in order to prevent the installation of a specific Windows Update or Updated Driver on your Windows 10 system.

How to block Windows Update(s) and Updated driver(s) from being installed in Windows 10.

Notes: Before continue to block a specific Windows Update or Driver from being installed in Windows 10, first proceed to uninstall it, if it is already installed.

A. To uninstall a specific Windows 10 Update, go to:

1. Start –>Settings –>Update and security –>Advanced options –>View your update history –>Uninstall Updates.
2. Select the unwanted Update from the list and click Uninstall. *

B. To uninstall a specific Device Driver in Windows 10:

1. Right click on the Start menu and select Device Manager.
2. Locate the device driver that you want to uninstall and then right-click on it and select Uninstall.
3. In the uninstall dialog, check the box to Delete the driver software for this device if available. *

* After uninstall:

1. Restart you computer and check for available updates…but DO NOT INSTALL them.

• Start –>Settings –>Update and security –>Check for updates.

2. Close ‘Update & Security’ options and proceed to block the automatic installation of the Windows Update or Driver as described bellow.

To prevent the automatic installation of a specific Windows Update or an updated driver on Windows 10:

1. Download and save the «Show or hide updates» troubleshooter tool on your computer.

2. Run the Show or hide updates tool and select Next at first screen.

3. At the next screen choose Hide Updates.

4. Select the Update that you don’t want to be installed and click Next.

5. Wait until the troubleshooter applies the appropriate changes on your system and then click Close.

– From now on, the selected updated Driver, or Windows Update, will not be installed automatically, until you run the Show or hide updates tool again and unblock the installation (Show Hidden Updates). *

Подробное описание

Windows 10 предоставляет меньше контроля над поведением операционной системы при обновлении по сравнению с предыдущими версиями Windows.

В новой ОС нет возможности отключать обновления Windows с помощью панели управления или приложения Параметры, Windows 10 автоматически проверяет наличие обновлений и устанавливает любые найденные обновления, нравится вам это или нет.

Функция управление обновлениями Windows, на самом деле, была бы очень полезной и удобной для большинства пользователей. Сейчас, если вы хотите контролировать процесс обновления, вы можете отключить службу Windows Update. Для этого необходимо открыть Диспетчер служб, найти службу и изменить ее параметры и состояние при запуске. Затем вам придется снова включать эту службу всякий раз, когда вы захотите, чтобы операционная система проверяла наличие обновлений (это выглядит не так просто).

Windows Update Blocker – простой в использовании портативный инструмент, который помогает вам полностью отключить или включить автоматические обновления в вашей системе Windows одним нажатием кнопки. Если вы поместите файл программы на внешний носитель, вы сможете носить Windows Update Blocker с собой и использовать его на любом компьютере, с которым вы работаете, чтобы быстро настраивать обновления системы.

Примечание: отключать обновления Windows навсегда не рекомендуется, потому что они обычно содержат патчи уязвимостей безопасности и критические исправления. Вы можете периодически включать обновления и проверять доступные пакеты обновлений или скачивать обновления для Windows вручную.

How to temporarily prevent a driver update from reinstalling in Windows 10

In Windows 10, your device is always kept up-to-date with the latest features and fixes. Drivers are installed automatically so that you don’t have to select which updates are needed. In rare cases, a specific driver might temporarily cause issues that affect your device. In this situation, you can prevent the problematic driver from reinstalling automatically the next time Windows Updates are installed.

Rolling back a device driver

If a driver that you are offered is causing system crashes or instability, and if Windows was operating correctly before that change, you can use this method to roll back the driver to the previous version.

The appropriate steps to roll back a driver installation depend on the version of Windows 10 that you have installed. We recommend that you update to the latest version of Windows 10 before you try to uninstall any drivers because this may resolve the issue. You can use Windows Update to check for the latest update by selecting the Start button, then selecting Settings > Update & security > Windows Update , and then Check for updates. Or you can install the latest version of Windows by going to Download Windows 10, and then selecting Update Now.

If you aren’t sure which version of Windows 10 you have, select the Start button, and then select Settings > System > About.

Start Device Manager. To do this, in the search box on the task bar type device manager, and then select Device Manager.

Locate and right-click the device that has the problem driver installed, and then select Properties.

Select the Driver tab, and then select Roll Back Driver.

Important If you don’t have the latest version of Windows 10, we recommend that you update now. To update to the latest version, go to Download Windows 10, and select Update Now.

Start Device Manager. To do this, in the search box on the task bar type device manager, and then select Device Manager.

Locate the category of device and right-click the device that has the problem driver installed, select Properties, and then choose the Driver tab.

In the Confirm Device Uninstall dialog box, select the Delete the driver software for this device check box.

Choose your automatic updates

To prevent the driver from being reinstalled by Windows Update, use the “Show or Hide Updates” troubleshooter to hide the driver. Window Update won’t install hidden drivers or updates.

Download the troubleshooter from the Microsoft Download Center:

Everybody is talking about how you should update all your drivers right after you upgrade your system to Windows 10.

In other words, certain software updates could prevent a certain piece of hardware from working.

In this article, I’m going to show you how to block further driver updates in Windows 10.

How can I stop automatic driver updates on Windows 10?

1. Use the Show or hide updates tool

1. Access Microsoft’s website and download the troubleshooting tool.
2. Run it and choose Hide updates, under Show or hide updates.
3. Now check your driver to prevent any further automatic updates.

There was a lot of fuss when Microsoft decided to not let you control automatic updates in Windows 10 Home version.

Probably because a lot of people complained, Microsoft decided to release a troubleshooter which allows you to block automatic updates for Windows 10.

That troubleshooter still works in the full version of Windows 10, and it could be used to block automatic updates of drivers, as well.

By applying the above steps, this troubleshooter will make sure that your desired driver will stay at the current version forever.

So, if you use some older piece or hardware on a Windows 10 computer, you don’t have to worry that it will lose its functionality sometime in the future, because of the incompatible driver.

As I said, this tool doesn’t have to be used only for blocking driver updates, as it can block all other unwanted updates in Windows 10.

2. Master driver updates with the help of Driver Fusion

Take the driver updates matter into your own hands with the help of a specialized tool known as Driver Fusion. With a comprehensive user interface, it’s easier to use than most similar tools.

Every option is straightforward and you’re in complete control over updating, restoring, or completely installing the drivers that you choose.

More precisely, feel free to download drivers from a continuously growing driver database and pick the exact version you want to install.

That’s how every single driver that ends up on your device is fully compatible with Windows 10 and errors are out of the question.

3. Disable the update service

1. Go to Start > type services.msc > hit Enter.
2. Go to Windows Update service > double click on the service.
3. Click on the General tab > go to Startup Type> select Disabled as shown in the screenshot below.
4. Reboot your computer to stop any updates.

This method allows you to disable any updates. This includes OS updates, driver updates, software updates, and more.

4. Roll back drivers

1. Go to Device Manager > right-click the problematic device > go to Properties.
2. Select the Driver tab > select Roll Back Driver.

If your computer already installed new driver updates, you can quickly uninstall them by rolling back drivers. Use this solution if the latest driver versions broke your machine.

And this is how you can disable automatic driver installation in Windows 10.

How do you feel about Microsoft’s decision to prevent you from controlling updates in Windows 10? Tell us your opinion in the comments.
