I don't exactly know where to post this, and maybe if someone could direct me to the correct forum that would be cool, but..
Windows 10 has decided to download a month old driver for NVIDIA - Display - 12/29/2016 12:00:00 AM - 21.21.13.7653, even though I do not have an nvidia card in my system.  When I first built my rig, I had a GT 660 as a placeholder until I got a good GPU, and receiving updates for nvidia cards while I have an AMD RX 480 NITRO in my system, it doesn't seem right.  I thought uninstalling all the nvidia drivers over half a year ago would mean I could never receive updates for their products again, ESPECIALLY for a GTX 10-whatever that I've never owned.

What can I do to stop this from ever wasting my internet connection and time again?  Do I have to dig around in my system to prevent this?  I do not need nvidia drivers cluttering up my HDD.
This has peeved me off because of my very limited connection, all it did was waste my time.  Any thoughts/help is appreciated.

How did you uninstall drivers? Did you just simply remove the folder? Cause you need to run DDU not just deleting it

I think you might need to use DDU to remove the driver.

I just did the old fashioned Install & Uninstall Programs, but that tool there cleared things up nicely and without trouble, thank you for your help.
