    MSE updates itself automatically. I haven't the foggiest idea what you're talking about. Really.
    The updates classified as "important or optional" through Windows update, are for "Windows Defender", not MSE.

    I think you can set update protocol and/or roll back driver updates in "Device Manager".

    I have just added nvidia driver downloads to the hidden updates list, so I no longer have any problem with that.( I have 275.33 installed and it works just fine, however a couple of months back when I downloaded and installed an update it would cause windows to freeze randomly, so I did a roll back to my current version.)

    Windows Defender is disabled on my pc since MSE has been installed. I'll just upload a screenshot of the "optional" updates I'm talking about...[IMG]
