How to install ONLY drivers via Windows 10 update?
As the title says, innocent question but with a very difficult answer, right?
Basicaly I ONLY want to install drivers via Windows update BUT in order to access "DRIVER UPDATES" from windows update, I have to hit "RESUME UPDATES" and if I do that, then boom all types of windows updates automaticaly starts to be downloaded (without even asking me if I want them) and right after download they're automatically installed. Updates for windows defender, intelligence update etc etc, and even a newer version of windows, all of which I DO NOT WANT to be installed.
Now, secondly, if I go to device manager and try to update the driver for each component (printer, gpu, etc etc) yet again, it sends me to the same menu where I have to choose resume updates.

So, again, how can I update ONLY my drivers via windows 10 update without being forced to install bunch of other crap that I do not need.

You don't want to install security updates for your OS, but you do want Windows update's ancient, out-of-date, driver updates? is this a serious question?

your point makes no sense.
I dont need security for my windows, I just want to download the drivers via windows update, without me downloading them from the official websites one by one.

what do security updates have to do with driver updates?

You absolutely do need security updates for your Windows.

The drivers Windows update supplies are often months or even years out of date because each driver needs to be certified by Microsoft first.

I would advise not using windows update for drivers because you will not always get the latest correct driver but a microsoft generic driver as is installed with the os. Quite often these drivers bring issues as they do not work as well as manufacturer supplied ones.

Downloading drivers from relevant sites and installing them is yourself is, imo, the best way to do it.

I know and everything you said is on point BUT still that doesnt answer my question because
want to do it via windows updates. There has to be a way.

I dont need them, maybe you need those security updates but not me. Also you are going into another topic, we are talking about driver updates not security updates.

I never had any security issues with my windows 10 and I've been using it since 2012. Fully debloated, WITHOUT defender on it and even WITHOUT an antivirus. Got all my bank details saved and never ever had a problem.

If you're dumb enough to go on shady sites or download suspicious softwares or even clicking weird links, no wonder you get hacked.

It seems to me you have no idea what you're talking about. Are you a troll? Everything you say makes no sense. Windows 7 support ended on January 14, 2020, there are no more windows updates for win 7.
Again you're going into another topic, stick to windows 10

That one obviously went over your head.

Windows 7 was the last operating system Microsoft made where you had to ability to pick and choose which updates were installed.

why are u bringing windows 7 into discussions when we are talking about windows 10?
who cares about windows 7? it's not like im going to install win 7 back, wtf man?
do you want attention or you're here to bring some information/solutions to the topic?\

100% there is a way for windows 10 but none of us seem to know it.
I've seen it before, as I remember, I think it involves changing some settings and/or services (gpedit.msc aswell)
