Windows automatic updates and Nvidia integration.
You're experiencing issues with Windows auto-updates being disabled despite having auto-update turned off. This can happen due to various reasons like system settings or driver conflicts.

If you're unsure, consider checking the Windows Update logs for more details.

If you can't find it, it may be due to another issue. Are beta drivers enabled in the GeForce software? Windows Update might mistake an older driver for a better one.
