    Year-Old Driver Tries to Install After Every Reboot


    For about a year now, a Synaptics Driver /has been installing through Windows Update nearly everyday, or every time Windows checked for Updates. It is the same driver every single time, dated 8/16/2017.

    At some point it began restarting my computer every night, but with the latest Insider Build it has just been waiting to restart. I have hidden the update, I have uninstalled the Synaptics device and its drivers, I have emptied/cleaned the software distribution folder numerous times. I'd just like to be rid of this.

    2nd Install new drivers from download
    3rd test new drivers

    Failure to load detection driver

    mid driver install i shut down my system as i wasn't sure if the install manager had deleted the old driver or not.
    I rebooted in safe mode, downloaded 11.4 and tried to install.
    When it tries to detect my hardware, that message comes up.
    What would you suggest doing?

    Year-Old Driver Tries to Install After Every Reboot

    Radeon Omega drivers help!

    did you uninstall the old drivers before installing the omegadrivers? i suggest the following:

    1. uninstall all gfx drivers --> reboot
    2. run DriverCleaner --> reboot
    3. install new drivers --> reboot

    good luck! *Toast :toast:
