Dunno if there is a more up to date guide:

EDIT: Possibly more up to date version https://www.digitalcitizen.life/how-block-unwanted-windows-driver-updates-installing-windows-10/

Long story short though you can't - you can prevent Windows 10 from installing it for awhile but at some random point it will decide you should have it and ignore any attempts to block it until you do them all over again.

Hence why I keep the machines I actually rely on, on Windows 7.

Thanks but it Looks like the download links have gone now

To prevent the automatic installation of a specific Windows Update or an updated driver on Windows 10:
1. Download and save the "Show or hide updates" troubleshooter tool on your computer.

2. Run the Show or hide updates tool and select Next at first screen.

I'm not at a Windows 10 machine but I think that option is now on the right hand pane of the control panel somewhere rather than an external tool.

Thanks Rroff

I had another look around in my windows settings and found this pause updates for up to 35 days

I had no problem installing this update, But once it installed most the stuff i opened would just auto close in roughly 5 seconds
(I.E web browsers, Text Documents, lots of the stuff in the control panel, etc )
