===== Prevent Driver Changes =====

==== Notes ====

  * To be done after a proper driver is manually installed
  * This ensures Windows Update nor anything else can replace installed drivers for specific devices unattended
  * Additional entries need to add a new number (the value after ''/v'')
  * The device ID can be acquired from Device Manager and should be pasted as-is (no extra slashes)

==== Base Policies ====

  reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions" /v "DenyDeviceIDs" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "1" /f

  reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions" /v "DenyDeviceIDsRetroactive" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "0" /f

==== Format ====

  * Do **not** copy/paste these as-is; only here for reference
  * Adjust to specific devices as-needed

==== Add Prevent Policy ====

****

  reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions\DenyDeviceIDs" /v "#" /t "REG_SZ" /d "PCI\VEN_XXXX&DEV_XXXX&SUBSYS_XXXXXXXX&REV_XX" /f

==== Remove Prevent Policy ====
