With this article, I aim to provide you with a comprehensive account on enabling or disabling Windows from downloading device drivers automatically in Windows 8.  Preceding versions of Windows 8 like Windows NT and Windows XP did not support this feature. Any operating system is required to be provided with necessary updates drivers from the Internet automatically within a fixed period of time. This feature is also able to significantly reduce the difficulty faced by the users while searching for drivers from the Internet manually. You won’t be required to make use of a CD and DVD in order to make this work. Updating drivers continuously is required in order to make the system work well. By default, Windows automatically gets its drivers updated for devices like printers, Keyboards etc. The instructions for the same are given below.

Instructions

  1. Go to the Windows 8 OS. Move the cursor to the right bottom side. Click on the search box. You may specify what you want in the search box.
  2. Type the name Control Panel in the search box. Click on the Control Panel.
