Try disabling automatic driver installs in your settings or use a custom installation method.
This occurred yesterday for the second time. Windows automatically installs GPU drivers even though I already have the newest ones from AMD. The first incident happened a few months ago. Before turning off my PC, I manually searched for updates in settings. One update listed as “Advanced Micro Devices - Display - [numbers]” appeared. After installation, my monitors briefly turned off before coming back on. I also found Windows had downgraded my drivers again. Similar to the first time, I’m planning to use DDU and reinstall the latest drivers. How can I prevent this from happening again? I’ve already tried disabling automatic downloads in “Device Installation Settings” and choosing “No” for custom icons. That didn’t work because it was set after the previous issue. I know there’s another option using the Local Group Policy Editor, but I couldn’t access it. It seems the tool is only available on Windows 11 Pro, not Home. What other steps can I take?
I experienced the same problem. After every update, I checked whether the download option was still active. Eventually, the driver updates ceased to download. It was quite inconsistent. However, for me, the issue has now resolved.
