How does Win10 prohibit driver automatic updates? Ways to prevent Win10 from automatically installing drivers

The Win10 system driver is automatically downloaded and installed by default, just like the system patch. This is not a concern for users who don't know much about installing drivers and patches. However, this kind of setting will cause many users to bear the consequences of the turtle speed network, especially those immature drivers, which cause more serious problems. We can choose to turn off this pothole setting.

Microsoft has listened to user suggestions and provide a method to close the drive is automatically updated in the Win10 anniversary update Preview 14328.

First, Win10 Professional Edition

Professional users are more intuitive and convenient because they come with “Group Policy Editor”, the specific method is as follows:

1. Enter “>Group Policy” in the Cortana search bar and press Enter to enter “Group Policy Editor”;

2. Find Computer Configuration & Rarr; Manage Template & Rarr; Windows Components & rarr; Windows update, and then find the right of the & ldquo; Windows update does not include drivers & rdquo; (pictured above);

3, double-click to open the project, in the upper left select & ldquo; & rdquo enabled ;, click “ OK & rdquo; (as shown above).

Second, Win10 Home Edition

If you use the Home Edition, you can't turn off the driver auto update through Group Policy settings. In this case, you need to use the versatile registry. As follows:

1. Enter regedit in the Cortana search bar and press Enter to enter “ Registry Edit  

2. Locate:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE \\ Policies \\ Microsoft \\ Windows \\ WindowsUpdate

3, on the right, right-click on a blank, new & ldquo; DWORD (32-bit) value & rdquo ;, named ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate (FIG above);

It should be noted that the "32-bit" here does not depend on the architecture of the system itself, which means that the 64-bit version of the system also needs to create a new "DWORD (32-bit) value" instead of New “64-bit value 

4. Double-click to open the newly created value, modify the value data to 1 (as shown above), click “OK”

 quo;Windows update does not include the driver” After the switch is added, it can be counted as a lot of users' "savior", avoiding all kinds of problems that should not be caused by the immature hardware driver. .
