Display driver problem

[Celsius]

I bought a new Asus laptop about 6 months ago. About a week ago every time there is a windows update the laptop reverts default intel driver instead of using the native Radeon driver. I have to reinstall the driver every single time, which is sometimes twice a day.

 

I followed some guides online where it explains how to disable driver updates with windows updates, but it did not work.

 

Any suggestions besides to buy a Mac? I tried it several times and I just don't like the feel of their keyboards and it would be difficult for me to get used to Mac OS. I tried. I have been computing on Commodore, Atari, Amiga, Amstrad, ZX Spectrum and PC for the last 30 years. I just don't like MAC OS! This last paragraph is for the mac fanboys because they are everywhere.

Why don’t you communicate the ways in which you tried to disable Driver updates? That way we can eliminate the things that you have already attempted.

Have you tried rolling back the Driver via the Device Manager when it happens or is the only way, you have found, to reinstall the original Driver?

What make is the video card in your PC,  Intel or Radeon,  because it will automatically, and quite correctly, use that driver.

What is the visual difference between the two drivers?

 

Go into Device Manager in Control Panel and make sure which Display Adapter is showing.

I am guessing that you are running the Home version and not Pro. 
If Pro, use Group Policy to block Driver updates. If Home, use the Registry. 
 

But the easier way should be to roll back the Driver and then to discover and Hide the update.

A driver update program updated my Acer monitor driver. After that several buttons didn't work anymore, like the hardware brightness, volume etc buttons.

Installed a generic driver, everything ok now.

Useful?

Hopefully useful in letting you know to not install useless Driver Updater programs.

Not easy to tell upfront.

That's why I have a very useful Backup program.

The Driver update program was/is from the manufacturer btw.
