Windows 10: KB4532693 causes error while starting Microstation Powerdraft, the program cannot be...

As described, Microsoft new wonderful update once again caused problems, with which I have been dealing for last 2 days. At first I didn't understand, why Microstation Powerdraft started crashing while trying to run the program. Also PC was much slower than before. Half of yesterdays workday was wasted because of that. In the late evening I tried to uninstall KB4532693. And after that Microstation Powerdraft started working. Went to bed, started PC today, because the work must be done for Monday, so other people could start working on Monday, and again, MS Powerdraft crashes again while starting. I open Windows Update and what do I see, Microsoft's "we show how well we can kill you productivity and waste your time and ruin your health" update has has been installed again! And now I cannot uninstall it anymore. While uninstalling I get error message "An error has occured. Not all of the updates were successfully uninstalled." Tried uninstalling from command line, did not help.

Tried to reset PC to earlier restore point and cannot do that because of somekind of OneDrive error.

Thanks again Microsoft!


So My question is how can I uninstall this crappy update?

Possible Causes of atikmdag errors

I was courious to see how many different causes there are to the infamous atikmdag.sys error that strikes widely across and has so for a long time, I am getting it myself also and it is really starting to wear me out. It is pretty annoying having a $520 Readeon 3870x2 card if you can't use it without errors.

So first of all, here is the apparant reason for my atikmdag error:

When I play a game, regardless of settings, clocks or anything else, the fan speed wil not be adjusting and the card will get hotter as it performs. As soon as the card gets hot enough, my system will attempt to speed up the fan and as soon as they do, I get the atikmdag error. I never hear the fan of my card go beyond 30% fan speed unless I push it using Rivatuner.

Anyone else got other apparant reasons?

By the way, here are the steps I have been trying to fix it

• Renaming atikmdag.sys to "atikomdag.sys(old)
• Set fan speed profiles in Rivatuner depending on temeprature thresholds
• Setting fixed fan speed in Rivatuner
• Installing only the ATI drivers without Catalyst Control Centre
• Replacing RAM blocks
• Trying older drivers

I have probably tried a few
