Well, easy way for installing a new driver is to use DDU and shutdown, unplug internet and install new driver without network. Or are you trying to run the older driver and Windows updates it without you wanting that?

Let me put it into perspective, lets say i have the driver version 460.09 right? And it's not extremely stable for me so i want to rollback to a driver i trust is stable like 445.87.But everytime i use DDU and install 445.87 it just automatically installs 456.71 another driver version that i didn't want.And i just can't seem to install 445.87 without windows reinstalling another driver.
