Anyone have issues with Win10 overwriting video drivers?
Was fixing up a guy's computer and I was going to upgrade it to win10 for him from Win7.
Did the upgrade then installed the latest Nvidia drivers. Seemed to work perfect. It is an older Alienware system but it was a beast when he bought it. Has dual GTX280 cards in it in SLI.
Unfortunately as soon as you restart the computer Win10 decides to update the video drivers automatically to a specific Win10 version from windows update. This breaks the SLI. No matter what I did I can not keep it from auto updating the video drivers. The sad part is the Nvidia drivers on the Nvidia website are actually newer than the windows update drivers.
I tried every hack I could find and none of them work, including the little troubleshooter ms released which was supposed to allow you to prevent specific windows updates from showing.
It looks like the only option (other than buying new video cards) is to upgrade to win10 professional then use the group policy editor to disallow any driver updates for their specific hardware ID. Not exactly a great solution.
Anyone else ever run into this? Anything else I'm missing to keep these stupid drivers from auto-updating?
