    I have the same issue - Dell laptop with a Ryzen 5 5625U. I install AMD's latest Radeon drivers and Windows Update yeets them right into the trash and downloads a driver from November 2021. Since it's Windows 11 Home, I have no obvious way to block this update, it is just installed.

    Same issue, Win 11 keeps installing version 30 of the AMD PRO software for my RX580.
    I can uninstall, install the right ones, and a week later Window's is uninstalling the right software and drivers and installing the wrong ones again.

    And there is no way to skip or cancle it. If I want to install any updates, this gets installed too.

    I also have this same issue. Turned off updating drivers in gpedit and hardware tab and it still updates the driver after I use AMDs website to install driver's and software.

    I'm having the same problem. I've tried almost everything. Did you solve this issue?

    #1. This does not work. The first opportunity Windows Update gets to install these always broken AMD drivers, it will install them. The only fix is to not allow Windows to update anything at all. Whatever these AMD drivers are that Microsoft insists that we have will result in some games telling you that you do not meet their minimum requirements to run them and AMD Adrenaline from running at all because your drivers are not compatible. If AMDs own software can't run on whatever it is that you are installing, that should tell you everything you need to know.

    #2. This only works this time IF you have not already installed the broken driver. The next available version will automatically get installed.

    #3. Everyone should have this without need a group policy to protect themselves from this nonsense.

    Microsoft needs to worry about Windows and Microsoft's own software and let me worry about AMD and everything else on my computer.
