Windows Update false positive issue

In my environment, every time I run Windows Update, I find the Synaptics driver that should have been installed.

I have installed the detected driver according to the message of Windows Update every time it was detected, but since the same thing is repeated, I excluded Synaptics driver from the detection target.

Microsoft offers a program (wushowhide.diagcab) that excludes certain updates from Windows Update, but its existence seems to be less known.

This article describes how to get and use wushowhide.diagcab.

False-detected driver

The misdetected driver is the next version.

Synaptics-Mouse-10/6/2015 12:00:00 AM-19.0.19.13

Installation seems to be successful

When you start Device Manager

"This device is working properly"

The installation is considered successful because it is displayed.

※ It verified with Windows 10 Pro Fall Creators Update, v1709.

The official Microsoft tool wushowhide.diagcab is a tool that excludes any program from the updates listed in Windows Update.

Take advantage of this to exclude Synaptics drivers.

There are two types of wushowhide.diagcab distributed, so be careful not to mistake the downloaded file.

For Windows 10 Version 1607 (Anniversary Update) and later versions
For Windows 10 Version 1511 (November update) and earlier versions

Afterword

Make Windows Update a manual update

Since Windows Update is often released with problems, change it to manual update so that it is not automatically installed.

The easiest way is to open the advanced options of Windows Update and set the delay setting to the maximum value like "feature update: 365 days" or "quality update: 30 days". to start.

You can use the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) to prevent it from being installed on your own, but Windows 10 Home does not have the Local Group Policy Editor activated by default.

Don't give up here.

The steps to activate the Windows 10 Home Local Group Policy Editor and the steps to change Windows Update to manual update are noted in the following article, so please read if you are interested.
