Microsoft is introducing Windows 10 as the last Windows ever and is switching to a Windows as a Service model. This switch should provide more frequent ongoing updates and continual enhancements rather than separate iterations of Windows.

As part of that model though, Microsoft has said that regular Home edition users will not be able to stop updates, and Professional editions can only delay them. This will help ensure that your PC is always kept up to date with the latest security features and malware protection, but it will also potentially force users to install faulty updates. Most recently, this occurred when a bad graphics driver was automatically installed by Windows Update and caused headaches for many who have multiple monitors.

It is instances like this, and plenty of others in Microsoft’s past, that can cause Windows users to cringe when they hear there is nothing they can do about updates being forced upon them. But there is good news as Microsoft has provided a troubleshooter for blocking Windows Updates and drivers for Windows 10 Insider Preview. This guide will cover the step by step process for first uninstalling either an unwanted driver or an unwanted Windows Update, and then show you how to stop Windows Update from reinstalling the bad driver or update you just got rid of.
