Block unwanted Windows 10 updates

After years of Windows users being able to pick and choose which security updates and new features would get installed, a controversial decision from Microsoft has made updates in Windows 10 mandatory, causing many early testers to get understandably peeved. Reports of an updated Nvidia driver causing performance issues on certain systems is just one example of how mandatory updates have so far bothered users. Thankfully, there’s also a way to avoid those unwanted updates — a troubleshooter package has been released that allows users to temporarily prevent a Windows or driver update from reinstalling in Windows 10. The package, which can be found by simply Googling ‘KB3073930’, was made for the Windows 10 Insider Preview, although it should also work on the fi nal release version. The troubleshooter will allow you to hide any updates that are causing you strife, and it will also let you manually select drivers for automatic installation. While this is a temporary solution, let’s hope that a proper fi x for this issue is on the way
