    I posted on here that I was going to turn windows update back on, on the 10th of December now I realize I never turned windows update back off and it had not over written my AMD driver. I don't know if there was an update to fix this or what but it is super weird.

    If you contact AMD Support and follow all their instructions, getting their driver to work includes shutting down Windows' automatic driver installations (their own). Even after you get everything ironed out, Microsoft keeps resetting your changes back to what they want every time they run an update. Sorry, the problem lies right at the feet of Monopoly Microsoft.

    I have built my own computers since the 1980s, so all of them have been OEM, using the best components available, for example Asus motherboards. I have only had regular and consistent problems with Microsoft - ever. You can search here and you will find myriad cram-down nanny nonsense all over the place. The evidence is monumental. It's past time to drag them into Antitrust litigation.

    I've seen automatic Windows Updates not overwrite the drivers (eg when that section claims it checked X mins ago) but then when you manually initiate Windows Update, they are overwritten. Have you tried manually checking for Windows Updates and if so and your drivers aren't being overwritten, which Radeon hardware is this with?

    I have built my desktop as well I have a ryzen 7 3700x eight core cpu and I used to have a rx 5500xt when I built it but I swapped to an rtx 3070 vision. The only thing I have an issue with that is I need faster storage but I just haven't gotten around to upgrading it. My laptop is what was having the driver issue but now I haven't had it since the 10th so it's been like 17 days.
