Windows Update force uninstalls old graphic drivers? Any way to disable?

I have an old AMD driver installed because the newer version breaks some functionality.
I went to run Windows Update and it showed an AMD driver available to install and gave me no way to decline it. Next thing I know the entire AMD Catalyst installation I had is removed!
Is this normal? Any way to disable the forced graphic driver updates?

Try the following:
Open "Devices and Printers" > right-click the computer > Device installation settings > choose "Never install driver software from Windows Update" > Save changes
The following article is for Windows 7 but should also apply to Windows 10:

  • App update notification on top right corner: any way to disable?

    Hi all!
    Running Mountain Lion I get a notification at the top right of the screen every time an App update is available. There are two buttons Update and Details but no Dismiss, "Go Away", or Cancel. I've got dozens of Apps on my laptop and don't want to update every time I get a notification. I figured out that a two finger swipe on the notification sends it off the screen (thanks Apple really obvious that one!). The problem is that fifteen minutes later it's back again!
    Is there any way of disabling App Store notifications without disabling all notifications? I can't see one.

    Thanks for your reply.i disabled the updates for cellular data.i hope there is no way to stop iphone to check updates for my purchased app item.most app relesing updates for compatible for iOS7,im using 6.1.3 for my 3gs.why should APPLE pushing me to update? if i'm not update the red counting icon was still there,if i update unnessery we have to use Wifi Data,
    in India 3G or Broadband will cost Rs 1600 or more for minimum 2Mbps speed also with limited Data.we get unlimited data in same cost,but speed is less then 512 Kbps only.it was boring speed.

    my iphone 5 has restored to an old backup after updating to ios 7 is there any way of getting my stuff back as this has now become the most recent back up?
    also since the update it keeps resetting itself? i had a lot of stuff on there that i really wanted and alot of important info lost? please help!!

    You might be able to remove the recent backup from the backups folder and the old one should be usable at that point
    USE EXTREAME CAUTION WHEN ACCESS THE FILES AND DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • Windows Update installs older Canon MG4100 drivers in Windows 8/8.1

    When I turn on the MG4120 printer and the printer is already setup for wireless and I have WSD enabled, Windows 8 or 8.1 automatically installs older Canon MG4100 drivers from Windows update.  The same thing happens if I connect the USB printer before installing the Canon software from the website and the same issue also happen in wireless mode.  The version that gets installed by Windows Update is the same version listed in the catalog at http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=mg4100.
    Windows 8,Windows 8.1 Drivers,Windows Vista  Drivers (Printers)  8/16/2011  2.50.2.70
    Windows 7  Drivers (Printers)  3/13/2012  18.0.2.31
    Canon, can you please submit the newer printer driver to microsoft Windows Update?

    Hi KeithWeisshar,
    WSD drivers are supplied and supported by Microsoft.  The version numbers and dates are not comparable to the numbers and dates for our drivers.  While WSD will provide you with basic printing capability and some features, to get the most from your printer, I recommend using the drivers found on our website.

  • Ipad connecting with vmware view client v5.1. "any way to disable or hide radial virtual keyboard mouse interface as using blue tooth external keyboard"

    Issue - ipad connecting with vmware view client v5.1. "any way to disable or hide the vmware view's radial virtual keyboard mouse interface" either in vmware view client settings, hidden cmds, or ipad system settings.
    My client is using an external blue tooth ipad metal cover type keyboard and does not wish to have the radial keyboard / mouse visable or floating on desktop when connecting to vm with iPad using vmware view client v5.1.
    i was unable to locate any settings or related toggle key/function combo keystrokes under iPad settings under vmware view client, to affect viewability of the radial keyboard/mouse. And can you kill it from service/process on vm instead of ipad? then dont allow service to restart at startup? What is the name of services that enable the radial virtual keyboard mouse - function to work?
    Thanks for any and all feedback-

    I'm having a very similar issue. Sometimes, when I boot and type in startx (I'm not even a GNOME user--I use dwm and no graphical login manager), I just get a black screen. No mouse cursor, so I think X doesn't even load. It only started with the xserver 1.6 update and the update to that hasn't changed anything. What I've been doing is just rebooting until it loads normally (takes one to three times). Is anyone else having this problem?

  • Question:-Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of da Adobe AIR Application?

    Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of the Adobe AIR Application or can we skip that part automatically?

    xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"  is the spark mx address, which is completely different than the original 2006 mx library. 
    The thing is:  I love AIR, hate spark, loved the 2006 pre-spark functionality.  It is so much more convenient and user friendly.  Given the choice between having the display seperate from the  processing, or having it be convenient and easy  to work with, I choose the later option.
    For the most part it seems like the AIR api is like a layer on top of the spark - flex system..   I would like to be able to over lay the same AIR functionality on top of the the old system....
    Possible or no?

  • Auto correct is making me look like an idiot. I have to go back and psychically spell check my documents now. Is there any way to disable it?

    Auto correct on my desktop Mac is making me look like an idiot. After I type it's changing words into other words I never typed and it even pushes words together that I'd typed a space in between in order to create new words that I never typed which make absolutley no sense.
    Now after I type a document I have to go back and psychically spell check my entire document the old fashioned way to make sure auto-correct isn't making me look like a clown who can't spell.
    Is there any way to disable "auto correct" on the desktop MAC and still keep spell check running?
    The amount of messages I've sent out with horribly misspselled words or errrors as a result  is maddening.
    HELP!!!
    Running OSX 10.9.1

    I had turned off auto-correct in the keyboard preferences, but in Mail all my spelling and grammer choices were grayed out.  The key for me — as Kingoftypos points out — was "For Mail, open a new message/reply/forward. Then go to the Edit menu and scroll down to the Spelling/Grammar."
    It would never have occurred to me to open a new message to be able to change the settings.
    Thanks, King

  • HT1391 is there any way to disable my iphone that has been stolen when it is not longer used as an active phone?

    I was using an old iPhone just for listening to music in my car. That was stolen when my car was broken into. Even though it is no longer used as a phone, there is still contact info on there that I do not want the thief to get a hold of. Is there any way to disable that device if i know the serial number>

    Thanks for your reply. That is what I feared. I never signed up for iCloud service because I was going to get a different phone around the time iCloud came about... oh well, it is what it is. At least I removed all Contact info on it at the time because I wanted to maximaze the space I needed for music!
    Thanks again.

  • NetBoot : any way to disable local disk in non disk less mode?

    Hello
    Is there any way to disable the local disk of any client booting from a NetBoot image in the non disk less mode? I guess unmounting the local disk is not possible in the non disk less mode, as the local disk is used for local shadowing/caching thus to "boost" performance - but is there any other way that users can not see the local disk as they are irritated about this second disk they are asked to not save any file on it? To disable the local disk would also have the purpose, that applications located on the local disk are not runnable/startable as long the client is booting from a NetBoot image, but would be runnable when the client is booting from the local disk.
    Thanks for any hint, best regards, relume

    Don’t enable Full Screen and it won’t make another Desktop. That is the way Full Screen is implemented. No way around that.
    If you are clicking the Zoom button (green dot), then they have altered the default behavior to go to Full Screen, but you can get the alternate behavior by holding down the Option key (alt) when clicking the green dot. It will then Zoom. You can also double-click the empty space in the window frame. However, if you have it set to minimize on double-click, you will have to disable that to get the Zoom mode.

  • Any way to disable automatic indexing while editing source?

    I am using Build JDEVADF_MAIN.DROP5_GENERIC_080107.0300.4814
    Whenever I edit a jsff file (for example, type a character), I get a little box in the lower right corner with the text "Indexing 1 File." While this is going on, my text editor is blocked and I can't see what I am typing on the page, nor can I do anything else. This is really annoying and I would like to disable it. I have looked through Tools | Preferences, but can't find a setting. Is there any way to disable file indexing during editing?

    Hi,
    you are using an Oracle internal build and ask the question on a public forum. If the indexing happens on any new file creation, please file a bug
