Hi guys,
I wanted to let Windows Update find the drivers for my system, and then let me choose whether to install them. So, I tried setting "Update device drivers" to "Always" and then set "Updates" to "Download updates but let me choose whether to install them".
Unfortunately, it didn't work. After running windows update my start menu got blasted with a couple dozen drivers, along with their bloated GUIs.
I would like to have windows update find drivers, but ask me whether to install them. How do I do that?
And, why are there three different device driver update settings? What's the difference between "Automatically update device drivers and icons over the internet", "Include drivers with Windows Updates" and "Update device drivers"?
Thanks!
