Windows also loves installing garbage drivers by default. I remember it was obsessed with installing an AMD GPU driver update )that only ever showed a black screen on boot) since it was newer than the working version I was using. I disabled the driver updates (this option in buried in a sub-dialog of a classic control panel option at the time) but since it had previously sniffed out that the driver existed it obsessively continued to download and install it in the background, re-bricking the install. None of the guides on clearing the download cache seemed to be able to convince it to give up, I eventually just reinstalled the OS without and internet connection and disabled the option before running updates.
