Disable/Enable CentOS 7.x automatic updates
Updating CentOS will corrupt certain drivers (most commonly NVIDIA drivers), so best to disable the automatic update prompts (especially if you have multiple users using the system). However, if your SW absolutely requires your CentOS to be updated to the latest version (or for security reasons), then you need to make sure to re-install all drivers that was affected from the update.
