Windows 10: My AMD Graphics Driver is being replaced by a windows driver automatically.

My AMD Graphics card driver is being automatically replaced by a driver through windows update, even though I have changed the device installation settings to no on my Windows 11 device.

AMD Graphics Driver

Hello, I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 and recently I got an error message telling me that the installed Graphics Driver was out of date and hat known problems. It then redirected me to the AMD website to the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition download page. I downloaded it and everything was working fine until my laptop did a Windows Update, when I tried to open the App that came with the AMD Software download, but I got another error message saying that the Graphics Driver ist not compatible with the Adrenalin Edition App and that the Windows Update automatically replaced the Graphics Driver. Is there some way to stop the Windows Update from replacing the Graphics Driver each time?

Greetings Henri
