Windows 10 is automatically controlling my GPU updates. (GTX 1070)

[Danspire]

I've discovered that Windows is taking control of my driver updates automatically.

My current installed driver is 372.90, However I've downloaded the latest driver which is 375.57 from NVIDIA's website but I cannot install it, as you can see from the image(s) below, I can install everything but the actual graphics driver, because it's being controlled by Windows Updates, I can't install it manually no matter what I do.

Notice how the Graphics Driver is greyed out. When I try to install it, it fails.
Side note: I've tried clean installations and they still dont work.

Any help would be appreciated

If you are basing this complaint on the fact the driver is greyed out you need not worry. That is always greyed out. You don't have a choice with the driver. You MUST install the driver. I mean you did download that package because you most likely wanted to upgrade your driver. Nvidia realizes this so you do not have an option to de-select it. Not all people have 3D or want physics or the other features so they are at the user's discretion.

Try to use driver uninstaller: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

Then try to install new drivers.

EDIT: aquielisunari is right, new driver is installed without possibility to opt out.

This is what I get when I go through the installation
