Windows 10: Windows 10 keeps downgrading my AMD drivers

Hello.

I have tried to install the latest BETA drivers (17.5.1) from AMD for my RX 480 video card but every time I install them, windows removes them and installs 17.1.1.

I have tried literally everything from disabling driver updates in windows to using the registry hack to stop it.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

:)

 

Hate Windows 10 went back to Windows 8.1 Now Happy!

Windows 10 is too buggy, AMD graphic and video drivers don't work like it should be, so this is my way to tell to Microsoft and AMD f... you, I will now downgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 8.1.

"Puck" you both for my lost time on this another Windows ****!

 

Microsoft keeps downgrading my video drivers

Actually, I did this months ago and have not had an update to my nVidia Quadro 4000m since, while everyone else is screaming at Microsoft for bricking their systems with nVidia Cards on Community . . .

 

Well the AMD driver versions of 17.4.x, 17.5.x have a major bug with programs and games currently, Affecting R7/R9 Cards, 400 Series, and 500 Series on Creators Update of Windows 10, I solved mine by using Group Policy and then it stopped trying to downgrade even further to 17.1.1, and i'm running version 17.3.3 currently as it's the most stable right now

Though on Windows 10 Home don't think you have Group policy feature, so not sure if you'll have to remain on 17.1.1 til a fixed AMD version out, but perhaps others will have more ideas in there replies

More Detailed Info on AMD forums related to the buggy drivers...

 

Uninstall your current drivers with DDU. This program reboots to safe mode for the uninstall, cleans the leftover files, and prevents windows from automatically downloading updates. I swear by it and so do the guys over at geforce forums. They have it pinned.

 

I've tried this many times, but Windows keeps installing 17.1.1. :/

 

Well that is odd then, I have never had a problem with it *Eek

 

Go into device manager and rollback the device driver (from the WU version to the NVIDIA Beta version).

Next, download and run this MS utility to block only the specific WU driver in question.

Run it and tick the box next to the driver you want to keep WU from auto downloading and installing:




Note:
The Anniversary version continues to work beyond that edition. I have used it on build 16199 without issue.

This should keep your Beta driver installed until you decide to change it.

Cheers,
