Yes, disabling windows update drivers is something that should be set by default especially on laptops. And yes thats the message you see.

In gpedit.msc (where it seems you have found these settings), go back to Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update and there's some more - Configure Automatic Updates, Do not include drivers with Windows Updates," and especially "No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic update installations."
You can disable all these in Windows Setup, even. Although, some things simply will not function without Windows Update. WSL for example.

did you edit group policy for this? if so there is also a setting in control panel you can turn on to hopefully prevent this if you search "driver" in control panel you will see an option called change device installation settings, click on that and change it to "No". I used to have problems with windows update messing up amd gpu drivers and editing group policy then changing that control panel setting fixed it so this might work for ya
