Isn't the most straight forward way to just use its three dot menu to disable auto-launching? Or is that not permanent?:
Stop the windows search bar (aka microsoft edge search bar tray icon) from...

He's probably talking about the old display properties, like in Windows XP, which had the Themes and Appearance tabs: windows - What is the purpose of desk.cpl? - Super User

No.

An msi file is an install file for Windows (originally, the file type stood for "Microsoft Installer"). It's similar to an exe file, in that you can double-click on it to install the program. But if...

Another thing to check is that these folders are not unchecked in Indexing Options. I had no idea that these were related, but unless they were checked in Indexing Options, they would show up as...

What's the practical difference between the two settings?

I was speaking specifically about the setting that rdwray was referring to, and asking him if it still keeps Windows Update from installing drivers, given that the message isn't even the same...

Someone elsewhere says: "The text on this has changed to "Do you want to automatically download manufacturer's apps and custom icons available for your devices?" with "Yes (recommended)" and "No...

I came across the following registry method, but I don't know if it still applies. Is anyone here familiar with the registry keys mentioned?: The quest for removing the yellow warning sign on the...

Right, but this internal drive *does* have write-caching enabled, so that's not the issue. The issue requiring the workaround is just that MR's File System Cache option (but not it's Direct Disk I/O...

I might've found a workaround for this. Under Backup->Disk Write Performance, you have the option of editing the backup write method for each of the drives that you backup to. My internal backup...

As opposed to just searching file names when searching non-indexed locations?

Same problem here. For me it's with an external USB Bluetooth adapter. It looks like some sort of stray component that doesn't get handled properly in the 1803 upgrade and shouldn't be showing up or...

Isn't this method going to have UAC prompting you?

That used to work, but now Windows will just re-enable it all by itself.

Wait, MSN Explorer is still a thing? Who knew?: https://membercenter.msn.com/featurehistory.aspx?pa=updatehistory

Is it Home or Pro?

Which version of Windows 10 are you using?

The "ELAN driver update for ELAN PS/2 Port Input Device" just popped up again in Windows Update, ready to install, so I guess removing it from the DriverStore didn't help. I mentioned elsewhere that...

Wait, so, I'm on 1803 Home, and had them disabled with option 4, but it *still* just downloaded a freakin' touchpad driver over the one that works best. I just checked, and I hadn't disabled them...

Regarding "OPTION THREE Enable or Disable Windows Update Automatic Updates in Windows 10 To Turn On or Off Automatic Device Driver Installation"

FYI, this option still doesn't stop a Windows...

That's cool, but they don't seem to be involved with notification, though. Setting ScheduledInstallDay to 0 just means to install every day. And setting ScheduledInstallTime to 3 just means 3 am, I...

This reg file deletes [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
