Windows 10 overwriting Quadro Driver

[alex75871]

I have a Supermicro Kaby Lake workstation with an NVIDIA Quadro P600 GPU. I want to install the latest GPU drivers but Windows keeps overwriting with an old driver from March 2022. How can I stop Windows from overwriting my GPU driver?

Update driver > Select the CAB in the Nvidia folder

I have no idea what this means. I have tried downloading the latest GPU driver from NVIDIA and running the executable. Windows then overwrites the Driver when Windows Update runs.

Oh sorry - in the screenshot you provided, click Update driver. Then you'll see this

Click Browse... 

then Let me pick...

You will see two version numbers in a list, pick the most recent one. 

I had to do this when first buying my RTX A4500, Windows messed up the drivers.

Hey that worked, thank you. Do you think I will have to do this again in future if I update my GPU driver?

Likely not. Windows stops trying - usually. Or if you never want this to happen ever again (and also get no windows updates:)

Win+R
services.msc, Enter

Windows Update

right click > Stop

Right click again > Properties

Set startup type to Disabled
