Less control over your OS. :-(

Especially if you have the Home Edition which means no disabling
(notify
only) of automatic updates. If you want control over updates, you
will
need the Pro version of Windows 10. Well, isn't that special.

Guess you'll need a 3rd party firewall (not under Microsoft's
control)
that blocks Microsoft's WSUS servers. You have to defend yourself
against Microsoft's "resistance is futile, you will adapt to
service us"
queer attitude. Either bend over and let Microsoft service you or
fight
back. Of course, if Microsoft doesn't get humping satisfaction, they
could disable features or cripple Windows 10 if you don't let them
service you. Or, if you have a Home Edition and want control without
having to fight back with a 3rd party firewall, buy the Pro
edition and
get serviced another way.

I ran preview version win 10 10130 and it was alright on the intel
core i7 but had problems with sound drivers on the AMD processors.I
had sound fine with the drivers originally installed,but then auto
update updated the drivers to hardware not on my system and no
sound. The only choice it gave me on my win 10 pro edition was to
reschedule an install date for update installation.
This has helped me decide what to do,as I will be sticking to win 7
and win 8.1 for a while.

Did you try installing a driver from the hardware
manufacturer ? As an alternative.

For example, if the audio hardware was Realtek, I would go to
realtek.com.tw and get a driver there. As I've noticed when
a Windows OS does sound itself, the "brand" of the audio is not
shown, and it looks like a "generic" driver is being used. You
can always test a manufacturer driver as a substitute.
That's assuming there is nothing in the INF to prevent it.
I think when I've done that, Device Manager changes from
a generic HDAudio label, to a Realtek label.

I did that and it was corrected until it auto updated again. Unless
updates are manual I will pass on this version.

It turns out there is a control to help you.

System control panel : Advanced System Settings : System Properties,
Hardware Tab
Device Installation settings : Let me choose what to do

I don't know what it does, but there is a tick box...

"Do you want Windows to download driver software
and realistic icons for your devices"

So apparently there is a need for realistic icons.
Who knew ?

Maybe if you tick that, it'll stop overwriting your Realtek ?

My 10130 preview, has a RealTek driver 6.0.1.7503, but
I can't figure out where it came from. I don't have a
driver file in my Downloads folder, so it isn't from there.
I can tell you, my Device Manager lists a Realtek item,
so it didn't use a generic HDAudio driver with no brand
string.

Paul

I have version 10130 installed and that option dosn't exist.

You compared to my Tinypic picture ?
