How to prevent Nvidia drivers from reinstalling?
Hello,
In a previous thread, I described a problem I had where my USB mouse and keyboard would freeze frequently. I could not unfreeze a USB port, but mouse and keyboard would work if I changed ports.
It was suggested that I completely uninstall all Nvidia drivers and software using the Display Driver Uninstaller, then reinstall the appropriate drivers, only the bare essentials. This instantly solved the USB problem.
But now this problem is returning, even though I blocked these two updates with Microsoft's "Show or hide updates" utility:
NVIDIA - Display - 2/6/2017 12:00:00 AM - 21.21.13.7684
NVIDIA Corporation - MEDIA - 8/30/2015 12:00:00 AM - 1.3.34.3
Since the problem was fixed immediately after following the suggestion, and since it has now returned even though I blocked these two updates, I'm guessing there's somehow some other drivers that were still automatically updated. Is there a way to narrow down this problem and find out which drivers were updated since a certain time? If this is the problem, can I prevent Windows from touching the graphics drivers in the future?
Thanks!
