Windows 10: Windows keeps overriding display drivers

Every few days I'll start a game and it will tell me my drivers are out of date. When I try to go into AMD Adrenaline to update it gives me an error saying the AMD software is incompatible with my currently installed drivers. This is the troubleshooting steps I tried: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/pa-300Apparently it's Windows that is overriding the AMD Drivers for some reason. I did the steps the AMD site suggested but it's still doing it, AMD suggested I come here if I still have the issue so here I am.
