Driver problems and Windows Update

You can roll back a driver via windows update and then block it from being installed. Here are the steps I used to remove an offending webcam driver from Windows Update.

• Press Windows Key + X and select Device Manager. 
• Right click device that uses the driver you want to uninstall and select Uninstall. 
• Check the “Delete the driver software for this device” option and click OK. 
• Windows will uninstall the device and delete the driver software downloaded from Windows Update. 
• You can install fresh drivers software afterwards

There is a “Never install driver software from Windows Update” option Windows 10. It seems to be hidden in the old Control Panel, but there is a shorter way to get to it and I don't recall at the moment.

This may or may not work. If Windows is replacing manufacturer drivers with its own you might give this a try. There is a tool that can be used if this doesn't help.

• Open the Control Panel (not the new settings menu) by right-clicking the Start button and selecting Control Panel. 
• Go to System and Security > System > Advanced system settings. 
• Select the Hardware tab 
• Select Device Installation Settings 
• Select the “No, let me choose what to do" option. 
• Select “Never install driver software from Windows Update.”

Microsoft was and may still be providing a downloadable tool to that can block or hide updates. It is meant for troubleshooting or handling bugs really. It was called “Show or hide updates” troubleshooter for Windows 10.
It will searches for available updates and allows the user to “hide” them and prevent Windows Update from automatically installing them. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3073930?utm_source=twitter is where it can be found.
