Windows 10 will download the latest drivers in Windows Update, but they tend to run late, making it a poor choice for gamers and power users. Enable or Disable Windows 10 Driver Downloads contains the registry files to disable Windows 10 driver downloads.

You should always back up your registry before making any changes. You can also manually edit the registry or use the Group Policy Editor. In this YouTube video, we show you how:



The zip file contains two files; DisableDriverDownloads.reg to disable Windows 10 driver downloads, and should you change your mind, you can restore Windows driver downloads with EnableDriverDownloadsWindows.reg.

Once you double-click a registry file, you'll need to click Run at the Security Warning window, then Yes, after the Registry Editor warning.

This tweak is included as part of MajorGeeks Registry Tweaks.
