Hi, Great channel, and good video! So, I'd like to mention a few things, I've read that group policy has reset on people changing their adjustments, I'm guessing from big OS updates, perhaps. Or maybe they didn't edit GP correctly, I suppose. Also, I feel like more advanced users, or power users, will probably feel comfortable using registry editor and/or GP editor, but less techie types may not. Because of this, I tend to tell end users to use the show/hide utility, or the Windows Update Management Tool. These tools are by Microsoft and one could download them from MS. However, with that said, it seems like finding these tools is more difficult than it used to be. Luckily, Major Geeks still has the show / hide utility for downloading. Anyway, I find these tools to be much easier for the average end user, as they can easily disable updates they don't want and if they need to re-enable them, they can re run the tool. Also, turning off Windows driver updates completely, can potentially cause future headaches when the end user needs a driver and they don't know where to find them, or how to install said drivers. This is where Windows drivers update can helpful, (even thought a LOT of times Windows driver update can cause problems). Anyway nice video, and thanks for uploading!

[@t.a.gchannel]

thank you very much, because of this video, now my laptop doesn't do driver updates automatically, because I really hate the drivers that have been provided by my laptop which have lots of bugs

Hi Brian ( @britec09 ), What is your viewpoint about ESET as compared to other third-party antivirus.

[@sumityogi1119]

Thanks ❤

This is what I needed. Thank you. ^ - ^

[@robertpeterwhite7581]

Thanks Brian👍👍

[@Britec09]

You're welcome

[@Th3fac31]

I really hope this works. I've been trying everything because, no matter what I do, windows hust keeps updating my video drivers even with the basics disabled. It makes everything a mess. I truly hope this works

[@kg3474]

thank you Mr Brian!

[@Britec09]

My pleasure!

[@Ratchet_effect]

Brian thank you for the Fix(s) to stop Windows installing what drivers it thinks are best. The Reg fix helped me solve my SDR drivers from being changed by windows 👍🖖

[@Britec09]

You're welcome!

[@Deathdemon65]

Thanks my man those f.....king driver updates corrupted my windows install but since I saw this video it has never happened

[@ItsArunShan]

We have to do only one of these, right? Or all 3 of them?

[@makarashare2973]

Good job brother

[@sanjayabandara6809]

thanks😍

[@JosSliv]

Be careful. It seems that the gpedit fix can prevent NordVPN from connecting. I was having an issue with connecting to Nord and as soon as I changed it back to Not Configured my connection was successful.

[@fortnite_starxx5791]

Will this also prevent windows update from downloading drivers or it will still download them but not install them?

[@welshtony1]

Good video as always

[@Britec09]

Thanks again!

[@kazue9272]

This issue is number one in terms of amd, everytime i update my amd cpu/graphic driver to the latest windows updates will push the old one back

[@2coolgamerz]

Yeh I have installed AMD drivers for my g14 but windows keeps removing it from my computer.

[@lencac7952]

Hi Britec: Question, I recently went from 8.1 to 10 pro a couple months ago. A couple weeks ago the feature to turn off the monitor and sleep mode no longer work. I've gone into the setting several times and changed the time settings and saved. But still it will not turn off the monitor not to mention not going to sleep as I have instructed it to do. Any thoughts? Thanks for advice.

[@EndUserGamer]

Hi, Did you change the power settings plan under power options? Left click the windows icon at the far right of the task bar, (the Start Button) go up to Power Options and click it, you'll see Power & Sleep Window, this is where you can adjust when PC and Monitors go to sleep, and perhaps they might be set to "Never".

[@lencac7952]

@@EndUserGamer Your reply is very much appreciated. You may find this interesting. Yes, I did go into the power settings and all that. It didn't matter what the settings were nothing changed. However, I'll bet not more than a few days after I inquired with you Windows did an update and now it all works properly. Thanks again for your help.

[@rudranil3608]

I turned of the motherboard firmware update during windows downloading updates but when restart to apply update it also updates the mother board firm ware now legacy support is no longer in my laptop. 😭😢

[@ToweringToska]

Oh wait, but the Group Policy change also blocks my wireless game controller from working. xD;

[@superbaggio87]

One more time thanks so much for the video, but if I disable the windows update by the group policy and or via a script, will it be enough to prevent the download or update of the drivers? Or ow we still need to do this procedure? I haven't updated my drivers in ages and have no problem Whatsoever

[@Britec09]

You're welcome

How to stop my bluetooth adapter from auto installing a bad driver every time I shut down my computer. I want other drivers to install just not the driver for the bluetooth adapter.

[@torii6153]

[@kg3474]

[@Britec09]

Today, Windows 10 f**king automatic update my graphic card driver to DCH version which crash every game I played, this result in wasted 1-2 hours of my free time to get rid of this problem. This very situation should not happen at at all if it asks for my consent first. F**k Microsoft. Anyways, thanks for the guide!

[@charleshines8523]

Windows 11 is full of multiple clicks to get to things. Now the menus are full of hieroglyphics and click for more options. If they were looking for a way to ruin Windows they succeeded! Why do they do this? Do they think we want a more complicated to use version of Windows? I installed Windows 10 on my laptop even though it came with Windows 11 out of the box. Just go to the manufacturer's website and see if there are drivers first. Windows 11 really is Windows 10, just a botched mess it is a f-cking crime to make us pay for!!! It is like a bad version that no one likes unless they are just a glutton for punishment!!

[@Britec09]

I agree

[@jennymontague851]

What I'd like to know is WHY does everything have to be so bloody complicated. Microsoft is getting to be too much for me. What, by the way is Microsoft Home Edition?

[@Britec09]

I agree
