    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 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.

    Don't feel left out, I am on Pro insider build (beta I think) and the 'how to block drivers' doesn't work for me either. In my case it is downloading workstation drivers. The one step I have not tried is turning off ALL driver updates as I leave it up to Windows to deal with my intel wifi/Bluetooth card.

    It is quite surprising Microsoft couldn't fix this simple problem for so many years now. My laptop keeps BSODing with "driver_power_state_failure" due to the ancient AMD driver WIN 11 insisted on installing every updates it does. And no, none of the "solutions" work.

    Only way to stop the BSOD seems to be stopping windows update altogether, how is that possibly safe and secure? If this is the best Microsoft can do..... its just sad.
