Title: Windows 10 AMD Autoupdate Issue
Post by: mewhoyou on January 29, 2017, 01:46:28 PM
Hi,

I have been running windows 10 with AMD 11/08/2016 and lately it has been automatically updating it to 11/21/2016 and when it does my miner CRASHES!!! Need any help, solution, anything at all .. I tried to roll back the driver but everytime when the system reboots it will automatically go back to 11/21/2016 driver.

Disconnect the pc from the internet

Remove the amd driver with DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) http://www.wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=742 (http://www.wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=742)

Install the amd driver You want to use

Use this guide to block automatic driver update for win 10 , this guide is for win 10 pro or enterprise :
the example is for intel hd adapter , the the procedure is the same for your amd cards :)

Good info. I found out the hard way if you don't disconnect from the internet as soon as you uninstall the drivers and reboot win 10 will try to download and install latest amd drivers I like win 10 pro but we lost some control on the settings and it sucks all the extra steps that you have to do just to setup how you want
