PC Drivers & Software

[Coraline77447]

Can I get some help with a permanent solution to Windows Update still trying to install AMD Radeon Software 20.6.X (27.20.11044.5003) when I'm supposed to be on 22.11.2 instead of 20.6 (20.6.0-20.6.10)?

I've been trying for a while now to force windows update to stop installing a graphics driver that's 2+ years old since I'm supposed to be on 22.11.2 NOT 20.6.? since apparently windows update thinks that that's the most "Stable" version of Radeon Software when that version is a couple of years old by now and I've done everything to try to stop windows update from installing a 2+ year old driver onto my system which will hinder my pc's overall performance and I need as much performance as I can get!

I don't even remember what version 27.20.11044.5003 really is anymore since it's between 20.6.0 and 20.6.10 at least. 

Since I'm getting an error in the events in *event viewer now and I would LOVE to permanently remove 27.20.11044.5003 from my computer by any means necessary.

I've paused windows updates till 2/25/23 so that I could find a permanent solution to get rid of 20.6.x permanently as of windows update's inventory (windows store) since windows update won't stop trying to install 20.6.x (27.20.11044.5003) since this has been going on for for too long now and both 27.20.11044.5003 as well as oem8.inf (amdwddmg) are driving me up a wall!
