"Always Search Online" driver install


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I plugged in my USB network adapter and a box popped up asking if I wanted to "always search online for drivers," "search online once," or "don't search online." I accidentally clicked "always search online," and now it automatically searches online for drivers every time I plug in a new device. Is there a way to disable this?

Wait, BRB

(I did this yesterday....)

Something like Run Gpedit.msc

Computer Config > System > Driver > Turn Off Windows Update Device Search Prompt (I think)

right click Computer, go to Properties, click on Advanced System Settings, then go to Hardware tab and click on Windows Update Driver Settings. There you will be able to adjust the settings.
