Then, we must access the option called Windows components. By last, we enter Windows Update. On the right side we have to look at the text.
Since there we will see what comes out Do not include drivers in the Windows Update policy. We double click to open its properties. The only thing we have to do next is change the state. In this way, driver updates in Windows 10 will not be automatic.
