- OptionOfT 2y agoThanks! But I don't want to disable driver updates. I just don't want it to install older versions.
- wvenable 2y agoMaybe they know something that you don't or it's just a glitch.
- nequo 2y agoBut shouldn’t they inform you and let you opt out of the downgrade even if they know something? Ubuntu at least asks if you want to proceed with a package update, you can look at the changelog to see what the update is about, and you can mark packages to be on hold and skipped for updates.
- ilayn 2y agoNope same for me with intel drivers. Intel update utility recommends one, installs it. Leave computer idle windows rolls it back in the night to a driver from 2021.
- grishka 2y agoWindows updates can be disabled on any edition with my "I wasn't asking" approach of moving C:/Windows/system32/wua*.dll somewhere else. You can put these dlls back when and if you want to install updates.
- Dalewyn 2y agoI find approaches like that ultimately end up borking Windows more often than not. Disabling autoupdates via Group Policy is supported and won't bork anything.
