This must have been asked a million times, however I have searched and can't find.

Every time I install Nvidia drivers windows update soon after automatically updates over them.

The things I've tried so far.

1) Gone into control panel and under system settings -> hardware selected 'No' to device installation settings.

2) Following this guide on How to Geek and put Hardware ID's into device installation restrictions

Despite both of the above, windows update still wants to replace it's own Nvidia drivers with latest ones from Nvidia web-site.
 
Hi Bledd, yes using latest drivers from Nvidia. What happens is if I do a windows update, or just after a period of time they just get updated.

Last night I was having a late night programming session, and at 3am windows installed new drivers automatically, I was literary programming code as it did it!

Is there anyway at least to stop Windows installing updates by itself?
 
C6, I tried this and it made no difference.

My experience is the same as weyland has written. I might try disabling windows update and start over again.
