How to revert approved to unapproved

I have a specific hardware driver issue that corrupts my Surface7 Pro. I have to get a replacement from Microsoft and when I join the domain, the prior "approved" drivers get selected for download and install.

How can I change the status from approved back to unapproved for the driver updates?

Now on my 5th return of Surface7.

In WSUS,
Create a Drivers view as mentioned in my guide in part 2 - https://www.ajtek.ca/wsus/how-to-setup-manage-and-maintain-wsus-part-2-computer-groups-update-views/
Scope your new Drivers view to Approved with the status of Any.
Go find your driver or drivers that are causing you problems, right click and Approve them. Select the drop down for Not Approved (yes, weird, you have to approve them to be not approved)
