Disable automatic driver install from Group Policy

Alternatively, you can use the Local Group Policy Editor to stop the operating system from installing driver updates. However, this option is available only on Windows 11 Pro, Enterprise, and Education.

To disable driver installs automatically with Group Policy, use these steps:

1. Open Start.

2. Search for gpedit and click the top result to open the Local Group Policy Editor.

3. Browse the following path:

   Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Manage updates offered from Windows Update

4. Double-click the “Do not include driver with Windows Update” option.

   

5. Check the Enabled option.

   

6. Click the Apply button.

7. Click the OK button.

After you complete the steps, the policy will enable, and Windows Update will stop providing drivers during updates.

Disable automatic driver install from Registry

If you use Windows 11 Home, you won’t have access to the Local Group Policy Editor. However, you can disable the feature through the Registry.

Warning: It’s essential to note that modifying the Windows Registry can cause serious problems if not used properly. It’s assumed you know what you’re doing and have created a full backup of your system before proceeding.

1. Open Start.

2. Search for regedit and click the top result to open the Registry.

3. Browse the following path:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DriverSearching

4. Double-click the SearchOrderConfig DWORD key, and change its value from 1 to 0.

   

5. Click OK.

6. Restart the computer.

Once you complete the steps, setting SearchOrderConfig to 0 will block drivers from updating every time Windows 11 checks for new updates.

You can always revert the changes using the same steps, but in step 4, change the DWORD key value from 0 to 1.
