    I have been experiencing similar issues before, Windows re-installing an obsolete AMD driver replacing the up-to-date original, installing obsolete wireless adapter drivers among others.

    1. Download the "Microsoft Show or Hide troubleshooter" tool. I downloaded it from here : https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/microsoft\_show\_or\_hide\_updates\_troubleshooter.html
    2. Install the up-to-date driver you want. In this case, re-install the AMD Software Adrenaline and install all its recommended updates.
    3. After all your desired and up-to-date drivers are installed and the system is restarted, run the Microsoft Show or Hide troubleshooter. By clicking "next" the tool will search for Windows updates. Once the search is completed you will be given two options : "Hide updates" and "Show hidden updates".
    4. Click on "Hide Updates". After that, in your case with the obsolete AMD driver re-installing issue, you should see the driver "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. - Display - 30.0.13002.1001". Select the driver and click "next". The specific driver update will be excluded from future windows updates.

    Should you ever need to show updates that were hidden this way, and you want Windows to re-install the whatever obsolete driver already excluded, run the tool once again, follow the same steps but this time click on "Show hidden updates". By clicking next, you should see the driver you excluded, select it, click next and voila, you have the obsolete **** for a driver back available in future Windows Updates.

    Confirming that wushowhide manager finally found the display driver in the list and was able to properly hide it. I will report back for more if it gets ignored in the future. PS: It was not possible pre-22H2. I still consider it a hijack and not an official compatibility solution. :)

    What helped me personally to solve this issue was actually a pretty simple solution. Open Device manager and find your device, double-click it and go to driver. Then click at something like "return changes of the driver" (I have it in Czech, so I'm not sure what it says in English). After you do that, it'll switch the driver back to the version you've installed and shouldn't update again.

    Same issue. I tried everything.. System settings, Regedit, Gpedit. It's frustrating since it is my office PC and I have to reset drivers every 2-3 days and losing a lot of time.

    I have not found a fix for this nothing I look up helps but I have found an temp fix pause windows update then go to device manager and locate the device (in my case it is under display adapters and AMD Radeon (TM) Graphics) right click and hit properties then go to the driver tab and hit roll back driver and your AMD driver will be back. This is a lot faster then re-downloading amd software. Make sure to update in the adrenaline software.
