I clean installed Win 11 Dev from the most recent ISO, and all went well. Windows started to download display driver from Microsoft. No way I could stop it, so I let it finish.
That's when the trouble started. I installed my Radeon drivers from AMD and rebooted. Then, I noticed Windows was downloading another display driver. No way I could stop this, too, so I let it finish.
At this point, I have three display drivers installed. No problem, I thought. I temporarily disabled updates, and used the AMD Cleanup Utility to remove all these drivers.
Then, I reinstalled my preferred driver. So far so good. I reinstalled all my software (Microsoft 365 etc.).
Used the computer for about an hour. Smooth sailing. Windows was performing quite nicely.
Then, I re-enabled Windows update. In horror, I watched helplessly as Windows downloaded the first driver again, then asked me to reboot, after which it downloaded the second (newer) driver again. So, I am back at square one.
These Windows drivers are dogs (no reflection on actual dogs). They perform poorly.
I have spent the last fer hours searching the web, but any solutions I tried do not help. These drivers are zombie-like in their ability to rise from the bit-bucket.
Any help would be seriously appreciated.
