[SOLVED] Windows update trying to install a drive for a device i don't have

[chuck_85]

Hi all. 2 days ago i needed to use my main ssd drive ( windows) in my old laptop . when the laptop booted in windows, windows update tried to download drivers for synaptics ps/2 port touch and other devices as well. Now i have placed the drive back in my main computer and windows update has a message that some updates failed. When i start the update procedure in windows update it starts downloading synaptics driver and when it completes the download it fails to install cause there is no a device like this in my computer. Is there any chance i can reset the windows update? Somewhere (maybe in registry?) the windows update it has sceduled download driver update :/ ( i know i shouldn't have used my drive in other pc but is fixed my boot issues i had after using DDU to remove graphic drivers not in safe mode.)
Thanks in advance and happy new year to all.
P.s.

I managed to delete synaptics from device manager. It was hidden. Now windows update is stuck on youre not up yo date and your device missing important updates and quality fixes... But when i press check for updates it finds nothing......

Thats a lot of work there... Wherever you wrote D: and the cd /d , in my case should i type c: and cd /c ?

Thanks again for your support my friend. i did what you said and completed the task but still after i checked again for updates it returned me 0 updates but with the same message : Your device is missing important security and quality fixes.
2 days ago my kms stopped working. is there any way that it has something to do with it? i mean right now my windows 10 need activation... but i red somewhere that it doesnt need to be active for the updates to work fine
