Microsoft has released an optional download that lets you hide or block any update for Windows or a hardware driver. Microsoft acknowledges that in rare cases, a specific driver or update might temporarily cause problems. Windows Update wont include the option of opting out of mandatory updates, but theres a hidden Microsoft troubleshooting package, KB3073930, that allows users to hide and block Windows Updates and driver updates. When Windows 10 arrives this week, it will not include an option to opt out of updates.”]
