How can I disable driver auto-update done by windows?

Hi, I would like to ask the honored, experienced colleagues for help. I have a Lenovo ideacentre b520 computer. I have been very satisfied with this computer for several years. By upgrading to win 10, he was super, absolutely quiet, with a touch screen and maximally suited me. I do not play on...

Assume I boot Win10 but do NOT login. So currently the Login=Welcome screen is visible. Does Win10 in this state (auto)search for updates, download and install them? In other words: Is auto-update Win10 user-independent or a user login required? Related question: From Android it is known...

I have got a new notebook with a pre-installed Win10 Home v1803. This Win10 version updates itself automatically every week.. But I don't want this: I want to decide when I want to update Win10. As far as I read this is only possible from Win10 v1903 onwards. So I decide a one-time update to...

I got locked in one of those update loops. You know what I mean, probably. My Windows 10 would start an automatic update, then fail, and then reset itself to a previous version. This would happen all of the time. I managed to use one of the methods on this link to successfully do an update...
