    Windows Update wants to change my Video Driver and I'm "Resisting"


    The AMD driver is the "recommended" one for my system but I'm using the "non-whql" gaming driver because, well I game

    The "non-whql" driver has built in video capture and overclocking and a few extra not completely stabile setting tweaks that I wish to keep

    without re-installing the gaming "non-whql" every time Windows does a daily security update

    Is there a way to pick and choose updates?

  3. Since updating windows 10 no Facebook or YouTube videos.

    Hi Dewey,

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am sorry to know that you are facing issues with Windows 10.

    I do appreciate your efforts and time, and will assist you with the issue.

    I suggest you to try the methods provided below and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Update video adapter driver.


    Verify that the latest drivers for the display adapter are installed.


    • At the Start screen, type Windows Update.
    • Click or tap Settings on the right side of the screen, and then select Install optional updates from the left results.
    • When the Windows Update control panel opens, click on “Check for Updates” on the
      top left corner to receive a fresh list of updates.

    I would also suggest you to refer to the following article and perform the steps mentioned under “Update driver” section.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/all-drivers (Also
    applicable for windows 10)

    Method 2:

    Check the Device status in the Device Manager. The yellow exclamation mark provides an indication of a device's current status and could mean that there is a system resource conflict, a driver issue, or any number of other
    things. Refer to these steps to open Device Manager.

    Step 1. Press Windows and X keys together.

    Step 2. Click on Device Manager.

    Step 3. Expand Sound, video and game controller.

    Step 4. Please check with the optional driver updates through windows update and check if it helps. And for more information I suggest you to refer the link below.

    Download and install drivers in Windows 8.1

    (Also applicable for windows 10)

    Method 3: If the issue still prissiest, install the Windows 8.1 drivers in compatibility mode.

    Step 1. Download the Windows 8.1 drivers.

    Step 2. Right click on the downloaded driver file.

    Step 3. Click/tap on Troubleshoot Compatibility.

    I also suggest install the latest drivers available for Windows 10 from manufacturer.

    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.
