    Deleting or removing unneeded printer updates


    I upgraded my laptop to Windows 10 right after Win10 was released and, when I was trying to attach my HP 5740 Wifi printer using the driver cd, two updates appeared in the Windows Update dialog that will not install, nor can I remove them.

    Is there a way to get rid of these two updates from the Windows Update dialog?

    Thanks in advance.

    Look at this for trying to clear windows update of those driver updates, seems Windows 10 has them as HP does not.

    Yes, this is what I want to do. I was able to download the Windows drivers for my printer and it works just fine.

    Weird HP site showed built in drivers in Windows 10 for your model, so wondering why windows update would show any, unless some new ones came out that HP not showing at there site. Only way i saw to remove drivers from appearing or clearing windows update.

    Just hide the relevant updates to be excluded, as described in this tutorial.
