fwiw you don't have to download drivers yourself, vendors are perfectly happy to distribute barely-uninstallable Adware using Windows Update. This is not limited to pre-built machines, either.
- chronogram 5y agoI hate that on my Latitude. After installing Windows 11 without internet I applied 3 different methods of disabling the automatic installation of drivers: group policy, control panel, and the registry. I rebooted to make double sure, and after connecting to the internet the first thing it does is install the Dell Maxxaudio crapware. You have to then go to the device manager to install the Microsoft audio drivers over it, then remove the crapware, but you’re not allowed to remove the app for it. Terribly annoying.
