However, Windows 10 doesn’t include a built-in tool with which you can select driver updates to block. So, if you uninstall a driver, Windows Update will automatically install it again. As a compromise, Microsoft’s wushowhide.diagcab tool for Windows – otherwise known as the Show or hide updates package – enables you to block unwanted driver updates.
Here’s how to block Windows driver updates
1. Roll Back the Driver Update
2. The Show or Hide Updates Tool
Windows Update will probably automatically reinstall the driver unless you turn it off. Instead, save the Show or hide updates tool to your HDD by clicking Download the “Show or hide updates” troubleshooter package now on this page. Then, you can temporarily block driver updates with that tool as follows. Now the update package will not reinstall the driver you removed. You can always open Show or hide updates again and deselect the blocked update package when required. Also, note that Windows Pro and Enterprise include a new built-in Group Policy Editor option with which users can select to exclude drivers from updates. RELATED STORIES YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT:
