Windows 10 Install Drivers from 2015

[MrSparky]

OK so I've been having this issue for a while now. I want to throw my laptop out of my bedroom window. :-/ Alright so I go and install the AMD beta drivers for my AMD A10-8700p apu. Windows then thinks i'm on an older driver and installs the 16.12 driver. OK whatever, not that big of a deal. However what is pissing me off is that a couple of days later after reverting back to 16.12. It goes and installs a driver from 2015. Every time I go install the new driver, a day later it reverts back to the 2015 driver because it for some odd reason thinks that the driver from 2015 is "newer" than 16.12, which is from 2016. I went and disabled driver updates and it's STILL doing this. Windows keeps doing this entirely on it's own for some add reason or another. If I can't fix it i'm setting this laptop on fire in my backyard. :-/

You could just find the files it installs and make them read only xD. boggy as f*** solution that could work.

 

Also windows 7,8 or 10?

Have you tried fiddling with the windows update settings. I know their is an option for driver auto install thats not called "download drivers"

Possibly caused by error in registry. Perhaps one of those automatic register fixing apps will work?

Have you tried using windows 8 drivers

If the group policy for that doesn't work, I sure as hell don't see that setting working either.

Sorry, I'm on Windows 10 atm. Same thing happened before I reformatted my entire HDD and completely reinstalled Windows 10. Now it's happening again. :-/ Like I said I changed the setting to where Windows wouldn't automatically download and install drivers on it's own.
