You and many other people have been having problems after the Windows 10 update. It's not the same for all but some simply reinstall drivers to get things back up and running again.
Here is a link to a discussion about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/8m29v9/how_i_fixed_my_5x_rx580_3x_rx570_asus_z270p_after/

Always disable automatic updates.

You've skipped the main rule in the miner setup.
Always updates make headaches.
If you check the link given above, you will go to the solution.

Actually, never had any problem with windows updates, oh wait, except the first patch of Spectre, it was the problem with the patch itself. but if we are speaking about general updates never had any interfere with the mining software

Oh yeah, sometimes this be a funny thing. When my laptop updated, next I'll check Altcoin Mining section and tried to find some miner that troubled with their rigs that caused by Windows update And check my own rigs after.  :D

Mean, a lot of miners has the same issue with you OP. As all above said, you should disable Windows Update.  ;)

Yeah, of course every miner must have experienced as long as using win10, sometimes it's a very annoying problem but it's a matter already covered and it has some solustions

Microsoft test their product with their consumers every time. After a couple of days they will release a patch. Earlier this year, an update caused the windows 10 to struck at boot screen after updating and they released patch after couple of days. but what about the people who were already affected.  Mining with rx580 on windows 7. Hope there will be no problem with Windows 7.
