Windows Update loops on a specific driver on Win 11 PC

Hi Sheryl_Garvey, the cleanest way to stop a bad driver loop is to install the correct driver manually first, then block the bad one from Windows Update. Download the driver from the PC or device manufacturer, install it, and reboot. After that, if Windows Update still keeps offering the same broken driver, use the Microsoft show/hide updates troubleshooter or block driver updates by policy if you are on Pro or Enterprise. You can also use Device Manager to find the hardware ID and block that specific driver. I would avoid deleting random update folders unless you already have the correct replacement driver installed.
