How to disable windows update auto update the driver for that particular device

I have a MacBook air (13 inch, mid-2012)
I had already used a thing of Apple called "bootcamp" to partition the hard drive. Boot camp also allows you to assign which os is used with starting the computer.

Win 8 has been installed using an iso of Windows 8 and Microsoft Windows 7 USB DVD Tool to create a bootable USB key.
That all worked. but there is no drivers as one might expect. If the video was VGA and there was no sound, etc.
I downloaded a zip file containing all the drivers and an installer or install the program from apple.
BootCamp5.0.5033.zip
I ran the installer and everything was installed and worked. He couldn't believe my luck. I've now had about pain free installed win 8.

But a frustrating problem has developed.

Every day or so my external screen connected by a mini display port adapter stops working. I restore the
pilot and it starts to work. So I guess that put automatic catch up and install a new driver. It does not work, I do this back and the cycle repeats. But... why...

I see all over the internet means to stop windows auto update all together, but this isn't what I want.

That is the question:
Can someone help me to tell windows update doesn't auto not only the video driver?

Here is some info in case it would be useful to you gurus
This driver works:
Graphics card Intel (r) HD 4000 (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.2)
Driver provider: Intel Corporation
Driver date: 26/05/2012
Driver version: 9.17.10. 2768
Digital signer: Microsoft Windows

This driver does NOT work:
GPU Intel(r) HD 4000
Driver provider: Intel Corporation
Driver date: 12/12/2012
Driver version: 9.17.10. 2932
Digital signer: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher
Device Manager > display... > events tab

A waste of time this as frustrating. Now how to force it to never automatically updated only the video driver.

Hello

You can not disable the automatic update to a specific device.

However, you can take control and disable the AutoUpdate for all hardware devices, which is the best option.

Press the Windows key + X to display the System menu , and then click Control Panel.

Select devices and printers.

In the top section, click on icon with the name of the computer and select the Settings of Installation of the device.

In the settings window, select No, let me choose what to do and never install driver software from Windows Update.

Click the save changes button.

This will prevent the hardware drivers installed by Windows Update. You will receive still all the other updates to Windows as usual.

If a piece of hardware should be updated in the future, you can just go the site of manufacturers of equipment and download/install the latest driver or reverse these options and get the driver from Windows Update.

    Is it possible for me to get the driver installation progress window? Or how could I get the event that she has finished the installation and the result (install has failed or succeeded)?

    Best regards

    -Alvin Hu

    Vista does not send these messages and cannot be configured to do this (progress or when it is done or if it succeeded or failed).  The only way to make sure is to plug and then, go to start / Control Panel / Device Manager and check for the device and click on it for more information on its status.  You can also check if the appliance does not work - it's probably faster and more accurate.  Many USB devices indicate their status by starting to work (a mouse begins to scroll, a USB flash drive or an external USB drive to bring the Autorun screen or appear in the Windows Explorer,...) and USB devices tend to start working quickly enough so it should not be a long wait.

    I hope this helps.

  • I get the blue screen in the LR development mode, even though I have updated the driver for the graphics card on this new laptop. It's an AMD Radeon R5 M335 4 GB memory DDR3, core i7 6th gen processor. What should do?

    Hi guys, I get the blue screen in the LR development mode, even though I have updated the driver for the graphics card on this new laptop. It's an AMD Radeon R5 M335 4 GB memory DDR3, core i7 6th gen processor. What should do? Thank you

    This Eizo has a normal resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. I expect not to see a lot of benefits of using the GPU. You really see the advantage to screens that are at least 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) or more. On small screens, you can see some benefits with smoother updates if you ONLY use the base sliders to develop. If you use brushes, turning on the GPU can actually slow you down a bit. In most cases, loading images in develop is also slower when you activated! There are a few illustrative notes to an engineer from Adobe that you can read here: notes for Lightroom CC GPU (2015) in order to better understand what is happening. Currently, in most cases, I recommend leaving off the coast. I think that Adobe is trying to improve and have more cards supported, but it is not yet completely there.

    • A required binary file is corrupted.
    • There is a problem with the file I/O process.

  • Add/Remove components error and DVD driver error: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

    Original title: Add/Remove components error and DVD driver error

    Yesterday, I removed several components of windows to attempt to clean my cpu. After the reboot, I noticed that my DVD drive disappeared. I tried to update the driver but told me I have the most updated version, I uninstalled and reinstalled the drive, but I still get the same error. Under Driver Details, it shows that I have a lot of drivers for my Phillips DVD player. However, the status of the device is the following: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device. I've done the troubleshooting, and the two options has not fixed the problem.

    Then I tried to add windows components that I removed, thinking maybe that was the problem. However, when I try to add them, I get an error message that says: 'Setup cannot copy the file zClientm.ex_' it shows the location of this file as being in windows/i386, and of course, the file is located in this folder. So when I go to browse to locate the file, I find and click on it to open it, but I keep getting the same error message that the file is not found and Setup cannot continue.

    I realize that this problem seems very rare and weird, but any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi krt2,

    In general, the error can be caused by a missing required device driver, a required binary file is damaged, if there is a problem with the process I/O file, or if a pilot that makes reference to an entry point in another binary file which can not load

    You can try to uninstall and reinstall the driver for the device to solve this problem.

    Step 1: Uninstall the CD/DVD driver. Follow this step to do the same thing:

    a. click the Start button, select Control Panel, click System and Maintenance and then click Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    b. expand CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drives-> right click on the device, and then click Properties.

    c. on the device properties dialog box, click the driver tab, and then click on uninstall.

    d. restart your computer.

    Step 2: Reinstall the CD/DVD driver by visiting the manufacturer's Web site.

    Hello

    Code 39 means that the driver is corrupted or missing.

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    Also check with your system manufacturer to see if there are any updated drivers for your DVD. Or even if it
    are you can reinstall the 'old'. Many use Windows default drivers however some special aura
    ones. Also check the website of the manufacturer of the car.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
