Teach you how to turn off Windows 7 automatic installation driver

Windows7 not only beautiful interface, powerful, and favored by the majority of users, now the newly purchased computer is pre-installed Windows7 system. Maybe everyone will find that after reinstalling the system, Windows7 will automatically install the graphics card, sound card, network card and other drivers automatically, so that we can no longer use the driver to install, but also reduce some troubles for drivers without drivers. . However, sometimes the automatic installation of the driver and the hardware are not necessarily compatible, and the user is required to uninstall and reinstall the official driver.
Or you will encounter such a problem, just got a mouse back and plugged it into the USB. As a result, the prompt to install the device driver can not be used in the notification bar for half a day, and the user who uses the laptop can use the touchpad. Click here: Skip the driver from Windows Update and you will be able to use it later. Or for security reasons, don't want windows 7 to automatically install drivers. Can you do this? Of course, you can prevent Windows 7 from automatically installing drivers by simply setting it up. Method 1: Change the device security settings. Click the Start button, type <;Devices & Printers" in the Start Search box, and then click Open. This window contains all the devices connected to the current computer. This includes monitors, keyboards, mice, printers, and more. Position your mouse over the icon that represents your computer. [Note that the name of the icon is not our usual “computer”, but the full name of the computer on the network. If you don't know the computer name, open the Start menu and right-click on “Computer” and select “Properties”. Details can be seen in the system window. ]

Back to the topic, position the mouse on the icon representing the computer, right click and select <;Device Security Settings”.

A new window pops up asking if you want Windows to download drivers for your device. We choose the second "No, let me choose the action to be performed”. After that, more options will pop up. We chose the third option to prevent automatic installation of the driver. [“Always install the best driver software from Windows Update> is the system default option and the most convenient. The second option, “Install from Windows Update when the driver software is not found on my computer, is more conservative than the first option and safer. The last one, "Never install driver software from Windows Update", refuses to automatically install the driver, which is the safest. Here I recommend you choose the second option, "Install from Windows Update when I can't find the driver software on my computer", I personally feel that this can guarantee the speed of installing the driver, and can drive the local + Internet. The path guarantees installation, but the downside is that the driver is not guaranteed to be up to date, but it does not seem to matter. Once you've made your selection, don't forget to click “Save Changes”. After the user account control window pops up, please allow confirmation to confirm the operation. Method 2: You can also complete this setting through the policy group. (Note: This method is available for Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, and Windows 7 Enterprise)

Click Start, type gpedit.msc in the Start Search box, and press Enter to open the Local Group Policy Editor.

(If the user account control window pops up, please allow to continue)
