How can I select which updates should be installed on Windows 10 Pro x64?

[taimoorbaig382]

Hi guys. This is Taimoor Baig. I got my new CPU HP Pavilion. Installed Windows and activated it. Stopped Updates, Windows Defender and Firewall. Then I placed in my GPU. Which is Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050ti Windforce OC G1. Then I downloaded every latest required driver (except video driver) from drp.su. Then I downloaded Geforce Experience. Installed it. Then Geforce Experience downloaded latest Game Ready Driver. But when I tried installing it, i got this error : "Game Ready driver is not compatible with this version of windows". I searched this on Google and found that I have to update my Windows first.

So I am going to start updating because the windows which I have was downloaded in 2015 from microsoft official website, so its quite old.

But when i start updating, the nvidia geforce gtx 1050ti video driver was also downloading with the updates and its completely useless for me because i am going to install Geforce experience later.

so how can i prevent it from downloading with updates?

Thanks in advance. Love you guys.....

just let it do it's thing, let it download everything, and then install experience, it'll check what driver you have, and update if needed. That's all experience does with respect to drivers.

actually it is just downloads from updates. it's installation is always failed because of too old windows.

first i tried windows 10 update assistance. it took 8 hours for downloading, verifying and updating and when it was at 98% unfortunately, the power of my house went off. everything was just WASTED!!! i reinstalled my windows and started this thread.

So it was working, you are going to just have to let it work.

Was this a preinstalled OS? where did you get it from?

And why are you using drp.su? (whatever that is)

 

[taimoorbaig382]

what was working?

not pre installed os. downloaded it from microsoft in 2015

drp.su is Driver Pack Solution (drivers intallation tool)

1. don't use things like the drp.su, you've no real idea what you are actually installing.
2. download a current version and use that to install, it'll come pre patched to nearly the latest level.

should i download pirated windows with latest updates and patch?

 

[13thmonkey]

No. Is your current version pirated?

 

[taimoorbaig382]

nope i have purchased it from microsoft for Rs.25,999/=

 

[13thmonkey]

so you can download the latest iso from ms.
