Automatic Update Graphics Controller Driver Issue

I have intentionally not installed this driver due to the addition of a
third-party graphics card. Prior to installing the new card, the advice
given was to uninstall the graphics driver from the original controller and
disable the original controller which I have done.

A few moments ago, windows automatic updates appeared saying Windows has
found one update and, not being able to identify the update as well as being
under the impression it may be a security update, I clicked ok to install.
At the last minute, I saw it was the Intel driver I'd previously installed.
By then it was too late and on restarting, the driver was once again
installed. Intel advises not to use the driver if the system has a
third-party graphics card installed
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filt...5&submit=Go%21

That's not all, 1) Originally after the installation, the Intel controller
was listed first under display adaptor in Device Manager then NVidia graphics
card. 2) Yesterday, I noticed NVidia was listed first with (Microsoft
Corporation) next to it then the Intel controller was listed. A few moments
ago, I noticed it's reversed to the original Menu listing.

I did have an issue earlier with Nvidia card and had to uninstall/reinstall
drivers but that shouldn't keep things playing hop scotch.

Since automatic updates reinstalled the driver for Intel controller, I've
again disabled it. Is this going to hurt my NVidia card? Is this going to
hurt my system? Should I once again uninstall the Intel driver?

TIA

Experienced users NEVER install third-party hardware or software updates
offered by Windows Update.

Change your Automatic Updates configuration to Notify Only to avoid this
problem in future.

Pa, it's me again, lol. About the rest of my question,

"Since automatic updates reinstalled the driver for Intel controller, I've
again disabled it. Is this going to hurt my NVidia card? Is this going
to hurt my system? Should I once again uninstall the Intel driver?"

Hi there,

It never hurts to leave a fine running system just running

Driver updates you only take when your hardware is not working proper or
some software might require a specific driver update.

Best Regards,
Not your Pa

Thanks, Michel,

I may have taken care of the problem. Wait and see now.

PS. Pa isn't my Pa, either. But it's easier than saying PABear.

You've disabled what? Are you having any display problems? If you've
uninstalled (rolled back) the Intel driver before with no ill affects, sure,
uninstall it (roll it back) again.

No can do what?

Changing Automatic Updates from the Automatic to the Notify Only "put you in
the red with OneCare"?

Yes it put me in the Red with OneCare when I selected the option to Notify
but not to install updates. Yesterday I did uninstall again and disabled
controller once the new installation re-activated everything. A few hours
later, windows updates was again installing the same item. I went back to
windows update last night and once the scan finished, the same update was
once again recommended. This time I selected don't show me this again.
Today, I returned to verify and no updates were available. Thanks again for
your help.
