Disable automatic driver installation in Windows 10

How to disable automatic driver installation in Windows 10?


I have this Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (MacBook Pro 2011 w/ Boot Camp) whose driver I need to roll back to an earlier version for things to work properly, however Windows keeps reinstalling the newer version.


I tried the method outlined at http://windowsinstructed.com/disable-automatic-device-driver-download-in-windows-10/ to no avail:



  1. Open File Explorer and go to This PC.

  2. Then click on System Properties

  3. Under the Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings group, click on Change settings.

  4. Click on the Hardware tab.

  5. Under the the Device Installation Settings group, click on Device Installation Settings

  6. Now click on No, Let me choose what to do, then select Never Install Drivers from Windows Update.

  7. Click on Save Settings, a system reboot is then necessary for the changes to take effect.
