PC Drivers & Software

[compupix]

With every restart, I get a notification to update my AMD drivers. I don't see the 'disable update tile' mentioned in the knowledgebase.

I have disabled the updater at

Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Task Scheduler > Task Scheduler Library > AMD Updater (right-click and Disable)

My Software Versions:

I do NOT want to update the AMD drivers.

Windows Version 10.0.16299 Build 16299

Thanks.

Untick the box "keep system up to date" on install, but you shouldn't have newer ones, as AMD moved the HD 5000 series to legacy support some time ago.

Yeah, but they still get nagged.

I am pretty sure that I unticked the box "keep system up to date" when I installed it. If I get fed up enough, I'll uninstall and make sure that I untick it on reinstall.

Read the above...you don't have to reinstall.

Thanks for the emphasis, Kingfish, but I don't know which answer applies to my case. I would love to trust your answer. It is the easiest. Obviously, making sure 'keep system up to date' is not check at install is a safe thing to make sure is done.

It will still do it. There is a bug in the driver that was corrected in a later version...which you unfortunately can't use. Use Autoruns...what have you got to lose? All your doing is taking a checkmark out of a box. You can always put it back in. Note that you must run the program as Administrator.

Thanks for your help Kingfish. As your predicted, the update software nags continue. I can rest easy now and just ignore them.

Did you try Autoruns from Microsoft? Autoruns for Windows - Windows Sysinternals | Microsoft Docs

If I am reading your Autoruns suggestion correctly, my AMD Updater is already un-checked:

Thanks for the extra effort!
