Disable Automatic Driver Download Windows 10

Post by Winnie »

Hi everyone,
I recently updated to Windows 10 and noticed that it automatically downloads and installs device drivers without asking for confirmation. I prefer to manually update my drivers to avoid compatibility issues. I've been trying to find a way to disable this automatic driver download feature in Windows 10, but I haven't had any luck so far. I searched through the Settings menu and Control Panel, but couldn't find any relevant options. Can someone please provide me with a link to download the driver that allows me to disable automatic driver downloads in Windows 10? Thanks in advance!
