Re: Automatic Update Graphics Controller Driver Issue

Pa, it's me again, lol. About the rest of my question,

"Since automatic updates reinstalled the driver for Intel controller, I've
again disabled it. Is this going to hurt my NVidia card? Is this going
to hurt my system? Should I once again uninstall the Intel driver?"

I have intentionally not installed this driver due to the addition of a

given was to uninstall the graphics driver from the original controller
and
disable the original controller which I have done.

A few moments ago, windows automatic updates appeared saying Windows has
found one update and, not being able to identify the update as well as
being
under the impression it may be a security update, I clicked ok to install.
At the last minute, I saw it was the Intel driver I'd previously
installed.
By then it was too late and on restarting, the driver was once again
installed. Intel advises not to use the driver if the system has a
third-party graphics card installed.

That's not all, 1) Originally after the installation, the Intel controller
was listed first under display adaptor in Device Manager then NVidia
graphics card. 2) Yesterday, I noticed NVidia was listed first with
(Microsoft Corporation) next to it then the Intel controller was listed.
A
few moments ago, I noticed it's reversed to the original Menu listing.

I did have an issue earlier with Nvidia card and had to
uninstall/reinstall
drivers but that shouldn't keep things playing hop scotch.

Since automatic updates reinstalled the driver for Intel controller, I've
again disabled it. Is this going to hurt my NVidia card? Is this going
to
hurt my system? Should I once again uninstall the Intel driver?

TIA
