I have blocked all those kind of crap from miscrosoft with -> https://wpd.app/ or DDU prevents that just fine on my computer.

spectatorx:

warlord is a type of person who enjoys suffering, he should buy geforce or switch to intel gpu long time ago but he prefers to keep on using "the worst" hardware and software that exists in his own world. That itself would be ok but real problem is he shares it with publicity, this kind of exhibitionism is intriguing to say the least. To be honest i wonder how this guy is not banned yet for things he posts.

We (mods) will handle who will get banned , no need express your thoughts about it , which can be seem as flaming. If you have a problem with his posts, you can either report him, or even better put him on your ignore list. (because that is what its there for!)

The update is just from Microsoft Update catalog. https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Home.aspx Finding things via this isn't the easiest though since it only returns so many results so it can be tricky to find the latest files, also since it's a newer file date these things can override installed drivers even if the files themselves are a older version. I prefer to block updates via the system settings and then also the group policy editor for Win10 Pro and higher but while it's worked so far this only helps when there is a existing driver installed. 🙂 For clean install you want to disconnect the computer first or Microsoft will pull whatever from the update server and force it and that just means extra work and cleaning out who knows what it pulled. (Newer GPU at least forces a reasonably new driver, old GPU and hello years old file from the server and extra cleaning.) EDIT: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=vega So there's a driver from late November at version 24.20.xx and then from October there's a driver at version 25.20.xx so you never really know what the update service will try to download and trying to do a search can be problematic unless you know the exact name or version number. As a example. I don't find the service very reliable for keeping the driver up to date but I suppose it's good for OEM's and similar although there's no fine control over the process without using third party utilities or tweaking the deeper settings in Windows 10 and even that isn't fully reliable anymore. 🙂 EDIT: Oh and these don't have the files found in newer builds for testing so things for Redstone6/H1 2019 or whatever it will be called aren't listed here. I guess that's what the above download might be for if Warlord is using a fast or slow ring build from this upcoming version of Win10 🙂

17.12 seems to be a typo or something. If somebody want to install: https://www.mediafire.com/file/7i01z7iicp5295t/2145fcacc226b22c4eec6c1d4aa60dca44ca853a/file https://i.imgur.com/tccIYfh.png

I guess it's just defaulting to the first Catalyst Next version if the string is missing from the INF file. 🙂 HKR,,RadeonSoftwareEdition,,"Adrenalin" HKR,,RadeonSoftwareVersion,,"18.11.2" Those two found under [ati2mtag_SoftwareDeviceSettings] So Adrenalin 18.11.2 is what gets reported and if these are blank there's probably some default or fallback value.

how do you stop windows from installing drivers ? some components like High Definition Audio Bus keeps reinstalling and windows wants to restart. (I only have this problem with AMD drivers on W10 - tried 18.12.2 and 18.12.3)

For Redstone 4 and Redstone 5 now you can only limit it but as long as some driver is installed it should stop Windows Update from interfering, from a clean install though pull the network cable or similar or it will immediately pull whatever from the update server and that's not desirable in the least particularly for how old some things can be. First there's the system settings and the device manager where you can toggle a option to skip driver updates. Then there's gpedit.msc for Windows 10 Pro and higher and enabling this policy. https://www.windowscentral.com/sites/wpcentral.com/files/styles/xlarge/public/field/image/2018/08/regedit-windows-update-dont-include-drivers.jpg https://www.windowscentral.com/how-disable-automatic-driver-updates-windows-10 Those two together should stop it, as long as some driver is installed since it will use Windows Update if the baseline Microsoft driver is detected regardless of setting.
