Windows 11 Updating AMD Graphics

I have A 2021 Lenovo with Ryzen 7 - Radeon Graphics, & Nvidia RTX. and now that you mention it YA! lol the same thing is happening to me. It's almost every 24hrs exactly I have to re-install the AMD drivers because it's saying that my windows update is replacing it. I've been looking high and low still can't seem to find how to disable that auto feature in windows update. but maybe it lies within that micro update. thanks for poitning that out.

I have no idea what GPU you have, so it could be any one from this list...

Use Expand to extract the CAB and MSU files, to locate the original INF files to compare with what is already installed (so you know what to remove.)

"Expands one or more compressed files. You can also use this command to retrieve compressed files from distribution disks." -> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/expand

Start the Command Prompt -> Start Menu -> Run -> taskmgr -> File -> Run new Task -> %SystemRoot%\System32\CMD.EXE -> Select "Create this task with administrative privileges." -> Click OK.

For example, you download hotfix 934307. The Windows6.0-KB934307-x86.msu file is in the C:\934307 folder. You type the following command at a command prompt to expand the .msu file to a temporary folder:

expand -f:* "C:\934307\Windows6.0-KB934307-x86.msu" %TEMP%

Change the following settings, and try running the script at the bottom of this post...

1.) Settings -> Windows Update -> Advanced Options ->

1A.) Receive updates for other Microsoft products (off)

1B.) Get me up to date (off)

1C.) Download updates over metered connections (off)

1D.) Notify me when a restart is required to finish updating (off)

2.) Settings -> Windows Update -> Advanced Options -> Delivery Optimization ->

2A.) Allow downloads from other PCs (off)

3.) Accounts -> Sign-in options ->

3A.) Automatically save my restartable apps and restart them when I sign back in (off)

3B.) Show account details such as my email address on the sign-in screen (off)

3C.) Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up after an update (off)

4.) Start Powershell -> Start Menu -> Run -> taskmgr -> File -> Run new Task -> %SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -> Select "Create this task with administrative privileges." -> Click OK.

./sc config EventLog start= auto;./sc config UsoSvc start= auto;./sc config wuauserv start= auto;./net start EventLog;./net start UsoSvc;./net start wuauserv;
DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth;
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase;
DISM /Cleanup-Mountpoints;
./SFC /SCANNOW;

Note: The first line enables Windows Update (as well as other services Windows Update needs to be able to function.) The second line is really to restore the image, while it can replace missing operating system components, the third line removes superseded components after updating as well as finalizing the updates so they cannot be uninstalled, with the fourth line cleaning up leftovers from partially mounted images in an unrecoverable state, while the fifth line replaces missing or corrupt files (sure it's slightly more complex, but this explanation is probably good enough.)

DISM should have cleared the Windows Update Cache at this point, which is located in this folder: %SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistribution\Download
