By default Windows is configured to automatically download and install the driver when a device is plugged in for the first time. Sometime a specific or driver can be shown to be causing problems (BSOD, etc.).
If you wish, you can prevent Windows from automatically downloading and installing Drivers, by editing the Windows Registry.
Navigate to the following key in Windows Registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DriverSearching
Set the value SearchOrderConfig to 0 to block driver updates.
Then restart the computer.
Note: In case you have to enable again the driver download and updates, set the value of 1.
