Cause#
My laptop has an AMD integrated graphics card, and due to the open-source nature of the drivers, Windows software updates automatically update the AMD drivers for me.
Although the intention of automatically updating the drivers is good, the updated version is quite old, and the screen display effect is somewhat blurry (though it's still usable).
Setup Steps#
- Press
Win + Rand typegpedit.mscto open the Local Group Policy Editor. - Select Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → Windows Components → Windows Update → Manage updates provided by Windows Update → Windows Update does not include drivers.
Double-click to open it, and in the pop-up window, you can see the description.
Note
Enabling this policy will exclude drivers from Windows quality updates.
Enabling this option will prevent Windows from updating drivers.
After completing this, install the drivers properly and check for updates. As shown in the image below, Windows will no longer update the AMD graphics driver.
Using dism++ is even simpler (By Dind_UUPdump).
PS: For Home Edition, please use the version conversion tool to convert to Professional Edition (no need to reinstall) and reactivate before using dism++ or Group Policy (By Dind_UUPdump).
