Windows 10: Windows 10 keeps downloading BIOS update that causes graphics intense applications to crash

I have a Dell Inspiron 5570 with an Intel i7-8550U CPU and Radeon R7 M460 GPU. I had been having problems with crashes whenever I did graphics intense tasks such as playing games. Eventually I found that downgrading the BIOS to version 1.1.8 fixed the problem and I could play games on max settings for hours.


I thought I would never have to deal with this problem again until Windows started downloading version 1.2.3 and forcing me to install it. Like before, this version causes the whole system to go unresponsive for a couple of seconds and then applications using the GPU to stop showing any graphics.


I want Windows to stop forcing this "upgrade" on me. I should be telling my computer what to do, not the other way around. Someone please tell me how tocompletely refuse it.

graphically intensive applications

I recently got internet for the first time and am using an old Dinasourcomputers. At times when I try to open the Games file that is games already on the computer, I think. It won't open a game & says close any graphically intensive applications. I don't
have anything else running. I don't understand. I don't download anything or watch videos. STILL LEARNING! help!!
