Hi

if you have it set to let windows choose best driver (default) - in the systems - advanced section - under hardware and device installation settings - then yes it will do so. If you for some reason stick with old AMD driver and do not update then windows will replace with some newer basic one that it sees as bare minimum driver. Either manually update to latest driver (whql / recommended) as pr amd driver download page for your card or say no to let windows decide driver - going away from default.

i already tried to install latest one

I think the only thing you can do is send a bug report through the bug report tool or through this link: https://www.amd.com/en/support/contact-email-form to let them know that it's not just a few people having black screen issues or other issues after recent driver updates.

BTW, I crash on all games with my PowerColor Radeon RX 7900 XTX Red Devil.

1: Type Windows+R.

2: Type: gpedit.msc

3: Go to: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Open "Do not include drivers with windows updates".

4: Select Enable > Apply > Accept.

5: Download the latest driver available for your GPU. https://www.amd.com/en/support

6: Restart your PC in safe mode.

7: Use the DDU to uninstall the entire video driver.

8: Restart.

9: Install new driver.

10: My english is a shi*t

Above solution is correct. Just aware that any device you install on your PC, Windows will not install the driver itself. Let say if you install external webcam, plug it and maybe it will not work right away until you install the driver by yourself. It can be problem for basic customer that only want plug and play mode (Plug the webcam, open messager and just works).

Windows has a wide repertoire of drivers as default, so almost all devices work on a plug-and-play basis. You rarely run into problems even if automatic driver installation is disabled. I always have it disabled, and have yet to encounter a situation where a device hasn't worked.

If you haven't tried WUSHOWHIDE yet, it's worth a try if it would help. First, uninstall the drivers you don't want on your PC or replace them with official drivers. Then run wushowhide diagcap and select the undesired drivers that Windows is trying to install and click HIDE. After that, those drivers should no longer be installed automatically.

 

The another handy app is DriverStoreExplorer which helps you to see what kind of drivers you have installed and to manage them.

My experience is I use old version 22.11.2, after DDU, install and reboot, I check my Windows Update and it was downloading the newest driver. So, I click pause update button, I did solution above mention by emiliorg, back to my Windows Update and resume. Windows update will re-check again and no AMD driver attempted by Windows to be updated.

Wonder if this is what is causing the 100% utilization spikes people are experiencing on 7000 series gpu
