Same here - WTF Microsoft.
Go to device manager - right click on video card - select properties - select rollback driver.

When I started my PC today Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. - Display - 7/25/2017 12:00:00 AM - 22.19.128.0 was installed by Windows Update. Since then, the maximum screen resolution available is 1280 * 1024 whereas it should be 1680 * 1050. See https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=rx+580 for a listing of this update.
This driver should not have been installed as my AMD Radeon HD 4350 GPU is not supported by native drivers in Windows 10: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Driver-Support-for-AMD-Radeon%E2%84%A2-HD-4000,-HD-3000,-HD-2000-and-older-Series.aspx
However, there appears to be no way to remove this update as when I click on the Uninstall updates link in Windows Update, the new driver isn't listed.
How do I remove this driver, go back to the existing driver (version 8.970.100.9001 according to the article above), and prevent the "update" from being installed again?
Thanks!

Then select the Hardware tab and Device Installation settings change the option to No. This will affect all device drivers.

That worked for me temporarily. It gives you the driver roll back opportunity for any Windows updates other than 1709.
The permanent fix, so far for me, is to do a clean install of version 1709 outside of Windows Update, by following the instructions here:
It leaves you with the display driver from 2015, and a fully updated version of Windows 10, but you need to reinstall all your programs, and all your files from backups.
