I am writing a Powershell script (and I am brand new to Powershell) to automatically build Windows 7 PCs. I've gotten pretty far along, but am NOT finding anything on how to turn off Windows 7 Automatic Driver Installation (most of the pre-loaded driver do NOT work for us) and to turn off Windows Automatic Update (we want to update what we want, when we want).
I did however find a reg key which SHOULD work for Windows 7 Automatic Driver Installation and the Powershell command does change the Dword value for me:
Set-ItemProperty HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DriverSearching -Name SearchOrderConfig -Value 3
The Value of 3 SHOULD change it to
"No, let me choose what to do, Never install driver software from Windows update"but even after trying a reboot, it still has the setting of "Yes, do this automatically" instead. Why isn't it changing?
Does anyone know a better way to turn off Windows Automatic Driver Installation and Windows Automatic Update??
Thank you,
Eric
