Windows urgently needs to revamp their driver consent model.

You can't block a just one driver. E.g. for my touch screen on the Lenovo website there is version X. When I install it the next day Windows installs X-1.

On Lenovo's website the latest version is 7.7.2.66 (https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netb...).

Windows reverts that to 7.7.2.44.

I tried blocking that update with the Powershell command-thingy, but even that doesn't work:

    Administrator in ~
    get-windowsupdate -isHidden | ft Status,KB,Size,Title

    Status  KB Size Title
    ------  -- ---- -----
    ----H--    92KB Wacom Technology - HIDClass - 7.7.2.44
(this command by the way takes 20+ seconds), and the filtering doesn't work because there is no KB.
