Graphics drivers are usually the worst and it is best to stick with the Apple Supplied drivers, rather than using the GPU Manufacturer or Windows supplied drivers.I just installed Windows 7 on Boot Camp, and when I login to windows, it says that there are Windows Updates available. Some previously released Windows updates have broken Wifi as well as caused Bluetooth issues with Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard devices (Currently fixed with the third party 'Magic Utilities'). Most other Windows Updates are installed as they become available.

How to stop updates for drivers with Windows Update using Group I also disable Windows Update from downloading and installing Drivers. It is a good idea to run Apple Software Update on the Windows side to also update any BOOTCAMP drivers specific to the Apple Hardware. It is good practice to boot back into MacOS occasionally and run any updates on the MacOS side (which may include Firmware updates for the hardware).

I am unsure why you had to manually install the drivers on a USB drive, since they are usually installed automatically from the Mac OS X DVD right after Windows completes its setup.
It might be a good idea to stick to the drivers provided by Apple. That way if you are in doubt, you can always review and make sure any driver updates are not pushed into your system, and things like security updates are. I recommend enabling the option that makes Windows Update prompt you whether or not it should install updates when available. I believe that Windows Update will only push updates that are critical (like security updates) and everything else (like driver updates) is listed as optional. I have used Boot Camp since the beta period all the way to Snow Leopard and I have never experienced a situation like the one you describe. Plus, it showed more than 40 updates left.įor practical purposes, when you boot into your Boot Camp partition you are on a regular PC: All updates pushed thru Windows Update should work as expected. My guess is that the restore did work, since after restarting, Windows launched. This time when I checked for Windows Updates, it showed more than 40.I launched Apple's Software Update, and updated to the latest Boot Camp.I checked how many updates there were in Windows Updates, and it showed only 4.This time it launched Windows correctly.(It's ambiguous as to whether or not the restore worked.)
