The instructions are similar to those provided by chaley

Before following these instructions I did a system restore to before the 15th August '14 to be rid of the rogue update and set my computer to not download updates until I tell it to, so that I can un-tick the rogue one

Now calibre is working as brilliantly as before, sees my Nexus 7, lists all the eBooks I have stored on it and happily loads new eBooks

Once again all is right with the world !
Quelch if you go into Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Update\Select updates to install and right click that rogue update, you can Hide It - that should be the last you see of it

Word to the wise - never download drivers for anything unless you have already determined that you really need it. And then download from the originator.

I don't understand why MS is letting Google distribute their drivers via WU. Would have thought Google were big and ugly enough to run their own software update service. I dunno if its changed but the way it used to work is that the driver originators (me) pushed their (my) driver to MS who pushed it to user - MS never took any responsibility, they were just the postman
