Microsoft Windows automatically searches for drivers online using Windows Update service every-time a new hardware gets connected, while this can be an excellent solution to get drivers for many hardware's; this also adds a long, unnecessary wait when the best drivers are already available in current installation for popular devices like Apple and Android mobile phones.

While we can easily turn-off Windows Update driver search entirely (by navigating to System Properties->Hardware tab->Windows Update Driver Settings->Never check for drivers), Here is a little handy trick to skip Windows driver search instantly for devices you are sure are available locally saving time at the time of driver searching.
