Windows 10 keeps installing Radeon software without my permission

This happend now 4 times in one week and i'm starting to get tired of it. Every time when i delete the gpu driver with DDU in safe mode and installing
another one without the Radeon ''Settings'' software, i notice that after a day or two that the software is still automatically being installed !

I already disabled Windows automatic driver update through Gpedit.msc and also advanced settings under Windows Update
but it keeps installing the software which i dont like! It causing a lot of problems with my gpu card during gaming. Without the
Radeon Settings software i'm fine.

Is there any other way to stop Windows 10 from interfering with my drivers? Can i disable windows update completely and just leave the security updates on?

    Be cautious when disabling updates or blocking drivers. Make sure to keep your system secure by installing security patches manually or periodically re-enabling updates.

    You can use either of the following methods: Prevent Windows from automatically updating Radeon drivers via Device Installation Settings or Group Policy, and use AMD's official tool to completely uninstall the existing drivers.
