that message telling driver update offered windows update older or lesser version installed driver or has lower compatibility rating installed driver. means don't want update , should glad installation failing.
it not idea accept hardware driver updates (video, audio, network, printer) offered windows update , if ever see them best hide them never see them again. hardware driver updates hardware manufacturers www site.
just because microsoft offers driver update not mean have out of date or afflicted driver , doesn't mean have install driver updates ms offers - best not install hardware driver updates offered microsoft.
accepting hardware driver updates microsoft 1 reason there many topics in community start "windows update broke computer...".
one rule of thumb "if ain't broke don't fix it" if not having problem hardware devices (video, audio, network, printer) don't accept or install driver updates offered microsoft. if having problem should driver updates hardware manufacturer.
if see , can recognize hardware driver updates offered should right click , hide them:
