Windows 10: Windows 10 Update Replaced AMD Graphics Driver Daily Issue

I have an issue with Windows Update keeps replacing my AMD graphics driver in daily ocurrance. I have done the ways to stop Windows Update, to set Pause updates for 35 days, I also use Device Manager to change the registry so the Update will stop updating my drivers automatically, but my Windows is still having problem. I found another article to Rollback driver, but unfortunately that option is greyed out.The only working temporary solution, is to keep reinstalling the newest AMD update that suits my GPU Radeon RX 460 everytime it's acting up. Sometimes it loads nicely only to freeze in t

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I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 and recently I got an error message telling me that the installed Graphics Driver was out of date and hat known problems.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
