How to download older vidoe drivers

Make sure you are downloading the right driver version. You can optimize the performance of your Lenovo system by downloading the latest drivers and software. Your system now has access to the video drivers. Make sure the video card is up to date by selecting it and checking for the latest driver version. The installation of hardware drivers is probably not necessary if everything is working properly. It is possible that some device manufacturers will even recommend against installing their hardware driver packages on modern versions of Windows such as Windows 8, as Windows already has the necessary drivers.

It is also possible to update the driver from there. Press Esc to cancel. Table of contents 1. How do I update my Lenovo laptop driver? Windows 7, 8, 8. Products that are inspired by ideas. Where Are Lenovo Updates? Should I Manually Download Drivers?

I'll repost my info from the For folks who do not want to download extra software to do the job. I could be wrong but if I remember, that MS "driver hider" didn't work for me or at least would not let me hide them until after the fact. I think MS has flagged them as 'security updates' so it ignores all the settings about not installing 'drivers' from Windows Updates.

I avoid it by installing windows with network cable unplugged, and install a driver of my choosing preferably newer than whatever WU is forcing so it never downloads , then disable Windows Update Service until I am ready to update and block driver installs by hardware ID.

Sajittarius , Jul 2, Depends on the version of Windows. I have mine LTSB set in gpedit. WU just downloads and rams in what it wants anyway. For the "Do Not Install Drivers With Updates" gpedit setting, there is this note: Note: For devices running Windows 10, version or Windows Server , this policy only takes effect if you enable telemetry that is, if the "Allow Telemetry" policy is not 0.

For devices running Windows 10, version or later or Windows Server, version or later , telemetry does not have to be enabled for this policy to take effect. So "we spy or you get drivers we want! As long as you have a driver newer than what they are forcing on Windows Update, it won't force the older one I think.
