  4. hmmm if installing the older package over the top complains about a newer version, thats exactly the case for DDU 🤷 Installers refuse downgrades but are fine on a clean system. lmk how it goes

  5. Accepted solution

    hmmm to stop Windows Update replacing it, use Device Installation Settings > No (System > About > Advanced system settings > Hardware) or the Group Policy "Do not include drivers with Windows Updates" on Pro. good luck man!

  6. @albaa252 the pnputil tip was gold. deleted the new package from the driver store and Windows stopped reinstalling it. my prebuilt tower is back to normal.
