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

reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions\DenyDeviceIDs" /v "#" /f

3)
rev 10 drivers, not rev 18+
4)
