Disable automatic device installation RRS feed

  • Question

  • During install from ISO there is an option to disable automatic device installation. However this option does not persist through build updates.

    Is there a way to force this option so that the build update, ie going from 10041 to 10061, doesn't automatically download and install device drivers?

    I want to update to build 10061 but it keeps installing crap drivers that screw everything up.

    OK.

    Besides, Windows 10 build 10074 is available by now, is you would like to do a clean install, then download it from here:

  • Hi TKaya,

    After you have downloaded Windows new build 10061 update, install it without the Internet Connection.

    Once booted up, check the Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers, find your machine and then right click and select Device Installation settings. You may follow the instructions described in this KB article to disbale automatic Driver installation:

    Check if this would be helpful.

  • I pulled the internet connection on boot, I did not before hitting Install. I will try that.
