Windows 11 Updating AMD Graphics
If you didn't install the wrong driver package from the AMD site, then you may have to look for this driver within the driver store and manually remove it once you have reinstalled the latest drivers (it could be a series of drivers.) I doubt you would need to do this...
This is the path where the files for the drivers are physically located, but you STILL have to use PnPUtil to uninstall them: %SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers
Launch the Command Prompt -> Start Menu -> Run -> taskmgr -> File -> Run new Task -> %SystemRoot%\System32\CMD.EXE -> Select "Create this task with administrative privileges." -> Click OK.
REM Create a list currently installed drivers on the Desktop
pnputil /enum-drivers > "%UserProfile%\Desktop\driverlist.txt"The associated driver names will be listed in the above file as: Published Name: <oem#.inf>
Once you have created the list, you can copy old drivers that are associated with the GPU from the list, into another text file, and then manually create a command line entry for each one to remove them from the Windows Driver Store.
REM Remove a driver from an Online Windows Image
pnputil /delete-driver <oem#.inf> /force"PnPUtil Command Syntax: Legacy Command Mapping" -> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/devtest/pnputil-command-syntax#legacy-command-mapping
You ALSO have to check to see if each GPU driver is listed as a service within this registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services", and delete any leftover entries accordingly via Regedit or Powershell.
Launch 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.
