Changing Windows Update Driver Settings

WINV-1.3.1, WINV-3.3.2

When you connect a new device to your computer, you can specify how you want Windows Update (New!) to find a software driver for the device. The default setting is to automatically check for a driver on your computer or online from the Microsoft Windows Update Web site. However, if you want more control over the process, you can change it to have Windows ask you each time you connect a new device before to check for drivers or never check for drivers. You can use System Properties to specify the option you want.
