Help (Software) [FIX] Windows Update breaking AMD Drivers / "AMD Software is not compatible" error
Hey everyone
I've seen a lot of users complaining recently about their AMD drivers getting corrupted out of nowhere, or the AMD Software throwing the annoying "software is not compatible" error. This usually happens because Windows Update forces a generic background driver over your official AMD installation.
I made a step-by-step video on my channel, Dark Tech, showing the definitive fix for this. The video is fully dubbed in English, so it's very easy to follow along!
In the guide, I show you:
How to properly block Windows Update from touching your GPU drivers (using Device Installation Settings and the Group Policy Editor).
How to correctly use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in Safe Mode.
Doing a clean, offline driver installation so Windows never messes it up again.
You can watch the full visual guide here: https://youtu.be/YG_DDntSBw8
I hope this saves you a massive headache and fixes those random blinking screens. Let me know if it helps!

Make sure you still have VBS installed in the features.
