    Each update e.g. 1803 Generic HDMI driver gets loaded. How can I block


    I maintain a number of machines, all have HDMI and VGA ports. HDMI goes to the main monitor, VGA to a multiway switch.
    Every recent update a generic HDMI driver gets loaded and appears to be incompatible - black screen or no video.
    .
    My current fix is to reload the motherboard specific driver e.g. INTEL 4600 and perform a silent install and reboot.

    Is there a way to block windows from updating to a generic HDMI driver when it installs a creator update?

    Is it possible the underlying problem is that certain hardware does not have a driver listed as compatible with Win 10 1803?
    If that is so, I suspect what may be happening- and there have been reports of this type- that as your installed driver is not deemed compatible, it is replaced by one provided by the OS.

    If so, that might leave your options as:
    - hope an appropriate driver is released and MS's driver database is updated
    - update the relevant hardware
    - use build 1709
    - automate the driver reinstallation
    - something else...

Nothing after 1703 installs successfully on my computer, so I'm still on 1703 with Update set to "current branch for business" and "defer 365 days". But it still keeps trying (and failing) to install 1803, and then "recovering previous version". So...
