I asked you not to choose that my answer didn't help until I had the chance to help you further. May I ask why you did that? Did you want my help?
It shows specific ways to block individual Updates in the first link so a driver Update is not offered again.
It also shows a registry Update to block all driver Updates for Home version in the second link.
So both links specifically addressed your issue, which I knew since they've worked for others I've linked them for hundreds if not thousands of times.
