Anyone experience Win10's Device Installation Settings randomly resetting back to "Yes"? It's darn annoying, random, and so far I haven't found out any particular trigger or pattern yet.
Both. My Thinkpad laptop is on Win10 Pro, and my MSI uses ordinary Win10. Both randomly have settings reset out of nowhere. I didn't even realise the settings got reset until suddenly out of the blue, my mouse driver gets updated.

Or maybe try this as well. How to Fix and Stop the Automatic and Mandatory Driver Updates on Windows 10 - drivethelife.com Blog
I found the cause of the setting change. In Devices and Printers, if you allow Windows to collect device information from the Internet, it will automatically change the Device Installation settings back to "Yes".
Weird, I can't find this option on my PC. Maybe I have already disabled it during Windows installation.
