Shrink Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 No idea why MS decided to remove the ability to ignore certain driver updates. I have a Samsung NP780Z5e notebook that has switchable graphics (AMD/Intel). The switchable graphics functionality is easily broken by drivers pushed by WU. After installing the January Preview (upgrade), WU continues to try to push an update for the Intel display driver (as well as an update to the preview which I understand is in error: Much to my dismay, however, when trying to install the updates (to see what the intel driver is going to break or whether it will be okay) WU fails with this: I'd really like to have the choice of what updates to install (particularly driver updates) and can't find the option. I have also sent this feedback into MS. BTW, that update for build 9934 really is in error, isn't it? Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokkolm Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'm getting an update to 9933 from Windows update right now. We'll see if it's an error or not in a couple of minutes. EDIT: Yup, upon retry the only failed update was the 9933 update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timster Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 yes, that's an error. any builds after 9926 aren't for anyone that isn't both a Microsoft Employee and have access to their internal network. You can use these commands from and Admin Command prompt (Windows Key + X, select Command Prompt (Admin)) reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability" /v "BranchName" /d "FBL_AWESOME1501" /t REG_SZ /f reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability" /v "ThresholdRiskLevel" /d "low" /t REG_SZ /f reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability" /v "ThresholdInternal" /f reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability" /v "ThresholdOptedIn" /f Aergan 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryster Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 No idea why MS decided to remove the ability to ignore certain driver updates. Maybe they decided nothing of the sort, and Windows 10 at this stage is a work in progress, perhaps? Anibal P and Aergan 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
