Go to SolutionAuto rollback GPU driver after updating to last AMD driver version
For now i've installed the gpu driver version 21.30.14-210826a-371630C-Dell (as AMD Radeon Software says).
With the AMD autodetect software it found an update for this GPU, i've follow the steps for update it, and after the reboot the driver is updated. All works fine.
After another boot of the pc, Windows Update automatically restore the old driver version.
I've tried to disable the "Change device installation settings" permission, but doesn't work.
What's the problem? why i can't use the last driver version?
Ok i've understand this, but why i can't choose to use the official AMD driver?
From Knowledge Base Article they say:
Updating the video card (GPU) drivers
Most of all the video card or GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) drivers have a version number. You can easily determine if the driver is outdated by comparing the version numbers. Video card drivers can be updated by downloading and installing the latest device drivers through:
- Windows Updates - Some device drivers get updated through Windows Update. On Microsoft Windows 10, Windows Update will automatically download and install the latest drivers available for you. However, on Microsoft Windows 8.1, Windows 8 or Windows 7, hardware drivers appear in the Windows Update interface as an optional update. Install any available hardware driver update to ensure the latest drivers are installed.
- Dell Drivers & Downloads - Dell Drivers & Downloads website allows you to download hardware drivers, firmware and other software downloads. For more information, refer to the Dell knowledge-base article Drivers and Downloads FAQs.
- Device manufacturer website - Intel, NVIDIA or AMD provide control panels that can automatically check for and download the latest video card drivers. Or, you can visit Intel, NVIDIA or AMD's website to download the latest video card driver package for the video card installed in your Dell PC.
but when i install the new driver from AMD, at the reboot it automatically install an outdated driver...

Searcing on it i've found a workround, with an open source software called WuMng can hide the AMD-Dell driver from WIndows Update, and i can use the AMD driver.
Obviously Dell Support Assistant says there's an update for GPU driver but we can choose to don't download it
