Latest Windows update makes everything HUGE

I can't thank you enough.  Happy Holidays

Hi All,

The Latest AMD Driver has some problems and here are some suggestions which you can try:

Go to Device Manager by typing in Devmgmt.msc in Run dialog box. 

Navigate to Display devices and right click ATI Radeon HD. Choose Properties. 

On the Driver tab, hit rollback Driver to go back to the previous version. 

The next step would be to block Driver updates from Windows updates. For this, 

Option 1:

Option 2: Use the show hide tool. As soon as the new driver is detected by WU, hide it. Steps are here:

Also, KB4055254 (if applicable) can also be a root cause. If the above steps don't help uninstall the update:

Let us know how that goes...

I tried the first part and it worked! Thank you. However under option 1 under Advance Options my settings does not display that third check box choice in the middle but only the other two. Amazing. So I will try option 2.

So I performed option 2 nd downloaded the hide tool to hide the AMD update dated 08/17. Hopefully that is the end as everything appears to be back to normal. if there is anything that needs to be done now or in the future, please post. Thanks again.

Thanks, but that didn't work for me last night. However, I did it again, but in a shorter version, which worked.  I just went to Device Manager, Display Adapter, ATI, Driver tab, then rolled back to the 2015 version of the driver.  Sumit just said to roll back to previous, without specifying that you had to go back to 2015.  My system reported several previous drivers, the first 3 of which were 7/25/2017, which is the problematic driver, so I had rolled back to the same driver, apparently.  A fabulous feeling to see it all correct again!

I was able to block driver updates last night by following Sumit's directions, using Option 1. I see you have a different issue with that.  

I'm hoping this fix sticks, for I have not powered off since the fix worked (YAAAAY!), because I have to actually use the thing today and tomorrow, and I'm not looking forward to doing this again, although it's easy once you have a little information.  My only problem now is how to get back to those threads I was on before, just to help others floundering through what was an awful mess just as we got into the long holiday weekend.
