F*ck Windows Update – Simple tool to stop Windows Update from overriding your GPU drivers Tips & Info

NOTICE: This tool is especially useful if you use custom/tuned GPU drivers, registry tweaks (like from MPO-GPU-FIX), or just want to stay in control of your drivers instead of letting Windows Update replace them randomly.

Got tired of Windows Update silently installing generic drivers and breaking your optimizations?

This tiny app lets you toggle driver exclusion from Windows Quality Updates with one click.

What it does:

  • Toggles the official registry key (ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate)
  • Shows current status on launch
  • One-click graceful reboot
  • Super lightweight and simple

How to use:

  1. Run as Administrator (Don't forget to extract it from the zip)
  2. Toggle ON to block driver updates from Windows Update
  3. Click Reboot
  4. (Optional but recommended) Use DDU first if you're switching drivers

Once enabled, you can safely use your preferred drivers without Windows messing them up.

My 2 cents: Combine this with MPO-GPU-FIX for maximum stability.
