One-click script fix for Windows replacing your GPU drivers

[hexagonal717]

I created a One-click script fix for Windows replacing your GPU drivers

https://github.com/hexagonal717/wushowhidetoolalt.git

Hey everyone, after so much frustration with Windows Update replacing new GPU drivers with Old GPU drivers constantly, I decided to take things into my own hands. I created a one click PowerShell script which auto hides the old AMD, Nvidia and Intel drivers that pops up in the windows update. Basically, the script is run on every logon in No Window style using Task Scheduler for seamless experience. It auto hides if there are any old drivers in the windows update.

It basically filters out from the Windows Update using following keywords from the Update's Title: 

NVIDIA - Display
nVidia - Display
Intel Corporation - Display
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. - Display
ATI Technologies Inc. - Display
AMD – Display Adapter

and prevents them from ever popping up in the Windows Update ever again. More details in the GitHub Repo. Enjoy!

The registry ones do not actually work. There's actually a tool from Microsoft called Windows Update Show Hide Tool. Basically, you have to manually hide the updates you don't want, and it works. But after doing major Windows Updates. The thing gets reset, so the old drivers come back again in the update without you knowing leading you to manually hide the drivers again. I have tried every possible way to hide the updates, Registry, DDU, Prevent Default Installations etc, you name it!. Windows Update Show Hide Tool is the only thing that actually works. So, I got the inspiration for my project from this tool, and I named it wushowhidetoolalt.
I just automated the process that's all. I made it in a way that on every logon, the task scheduler makes the script run the HideGpuDriversFromWindowsUpdate Logic in No Window style for no visual Interruptions. Enjoy.

this would be useful if windows 11 didnt implement a thing specificly for drivers so you can manually install them separately.

I see. either particular AMD thing or old GPU thing I guess.

Because it never changed my W11 laptop's drivers (5800h iGPU, 3060m) and my W10 desktop (3080)

Never seen display (or any kind of) driver in my WU as well after turning driver download to off in gpo (Yes, I would know, because I turned off automatic update)

Before doing that usually it wants to download a driver for my Steelseries mouse every single time I clicked "Check for updates"

If you ran the previous version of the script. Please run the V1.2.0 of the script. Seems like I forgot to enable back the delivery optimization service required for the windows update to properly work. I fixed it in the new one.
