Windows Updates Drivers

Hi,

I have a little problem with WindowsUpdate, everytime that I go check for
updates I 2 NVidia driver (I have a motherboard with Nvidia chipset, and a
TI4400 videocard), but I have more recent drivers installed, how come
windowsupdate still list those outdated driver, if I have already installed more
recent, directly from the Nvidia web site

OR how can I configure the Windows Update to not show me these updates ?

Thank you in Advance

Merci a l'Avance

When you update from MS, installation data is recorded and kept. When you
update elsewhere the installation data is not recorded and kept. Since Nvidia
updates are supported by MS don't update from the manufacturer unless
absolutely necessary. IE. the update will eventually be available via MS. You
can try installing from MS, then, update from the manufacturer. But,I haven't
tried this so don't know if the installation logs will show the MS update as
being installed.

I'm all for f*cking with the French, but you have given about the
dumbest advice I've seen this year.

Never update your drivers from MS, ESPECIALLY VIDEO DRIVERS. MS uses
very minimalist video drivers, the one from the Manufacturer are the
better drivers.

Just ignore all drivers that MS offers by MS on WinUpdate.

NO.
I've had big problems with the NVIDIA driver supplied by
ms update. Use the latest driver from NVIDIA.com.
AVOID the nvidia update from MS.

Talk about dumb and stupid advice. One of the reasons the update is still at
the manufacturer is because it has NOT been tested and approved by MS. My
advice stands. Don't update unless necessary. Get your updates from MS after
they have been approved. You are a self anointed spreader of bad advice not
moderator. WAKE UP.

As long as the driver from the hardware manufacturer has been WHQL approved
(which most are), it's been tested and signed by Microsoft.

The driver updates on Windows Update, are just that "drivers" they don't
have the control panels and other features that drivers from the hardware
manufacturer's site may have.

It's not Microsoft's responsibility to host drivers for everyone.

Your advice is the dumb one. Most knowledgeable people will ALWAYS recommend
using drivers from the manufactures site. MS driver are always dumbed down
and do not include all the features available.

I don't make it a habit too often to agree with kurttrail but unknown you
are completely nuts if you think your advice here is good advice.
