Celsius Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 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.

NextG Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NextG Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) 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?

KannikaP Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 What make is the video card in your PC, Intel or Radeon, because it will automatically, and quite correctly, use that driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go into Device Manager in Control Panel and make sure which Display Adapter is showing. Edited January 12, 2023 by KannikaP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/8280-hide-show-windows-updates-windows-10-a.html If 11; https://pureinfotech.com/show-hide-updates-windows-11/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henk Langeweg Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 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?

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
