*About the “Skip obtaining driver software from Windows Update” option
If your operating system is configured to obtain driver software from Windows Update, it may take time
for installation to complete because the process searches for drivers from Windows Update first. You
can reduce the time until the completion of installation by choosing to skip obtaining driver software
from Windows Update. (Depending on your operating system, it may take some time until installation is
complete.)
From the Driver Software Installation dialog box, click “Skip obtaining driver software from Windows
Update”.
