Windows Update download and installs outdated driver

• My AMD Radeon R5 M355 graphics driver is outdated a bit and I want it to get updated. I go the official webpage to download the display driver that is more updated compared to the one that was installed. I download Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU)
  to remove the older graphics driver then running the uninstaller in safe mode then eventually go through the process of installing the new one successfully. However when I install the new one, Windows Update keeps downloading and installing a more outdated
  version of it. Why would windows do this? How could I stop it?

• Old AMD Radeon R5 M355 (Windows Automatically installed)

• More updated version of AMD Radeon R5 M355 (Installed Manually)

• The one that windows update installed on its own doesn’t even function property. When I try to access the AMD Radeon Setting I get a pop up saying “No AMD graphics driver is installed or the AMD driver is not functioning properly. Please install the
  AMD driver appropriate for your AMD hardware.”

• After manually downloading and installing the functioning driver again and going through the process of uninstalling the nonfunctional driver, I have been trying to avoid using windows update.
