Hi
if you have it set to let windows choose best driver (default) — in the systems — advanced section — under hardware and device installation settings — then yes it will do so. If you for some reason stick with old AMD driver and do not update then windows will replace with some newer basic one that it sees as bare minimum driver. Either manually update to latest driver (whql / recommended) as pr amd driver download page for your card or say no to let windows decide driver — going away from default.

Above solution is correct. Just aware that any device you install on your PC, Windows will not install the driver itself. Let say if you install external webcam, plug it and maybe it will not work right away until you install the driver by yourself. It can be problem for basic customer that only want plug and play mode (Plug the webcam, open messager and just works).

Windows has a wide repertoire of drivers as default, so almost all devices work on a plug-and-play basis. You rarely run into problems even if automatic driver installation is disabled. I always have it disabled, and have yet to encounter a situation where a device hasn’t worked.

If you haven’t tried WUSHOWHIDE yet, it’s worth a try if it would help. First, uninstall the drivers you don’t want on your PC or replace them with official drivers. Then run wushowhide diagcap and select the undesired drivers that Windows is trying to install and click HIDE. After that, those drivers should no longer be installed automatically.
The another handy app is DriverStoreExplorer which helps you to see what kind of drivers you have installed and to manage them.

Пользователи операционной системы Windows 11 столкнулись с новой неожиданной проблемой. ОС может автоматически устанавливать и обновлять драйверы. Обычно это полезно и хорошо. Однако сейчас система начала заменять более новые драйверы устаревшими версиями. А это приводит к другим проблемам — с определённым программным обеспечением.
Согласно жалобам пользователей в сети, Windows Update (Центр обновления Windows), ошибочно заменяет драйверы AMD в Windows 11 на устаревшие версии.
Это приводит к тому, что пользователи сталкиваются с сообщением об ошибке AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition, в котором говорится: «Центр обновления Windows мог автоматически заменить ваш драйвер AMD Graphics. Следовательно, версия программного обеспечения AMD, которую вы запустили, несовместима с установленным драйвером AMD Graphics».
Компания AMD подтвердила в документе поддержки пользователей, что установленный Windows драйвер для графического процессора Radeon несовместим с текущей установленной версией программного обеспечения AMD. Компания предлагает пользователям либо запретить Windows Update обновлять драйверы графики AMD, либо переустановить AMD Software с сайта AMD.

Операционная система Windows 11 автоматически устанавливает драйверы и заменяет их устаревшими версиями, что может привести к проблемам в работе специализированных утилит. Как сообщает ресурс Windows Latest, проблема связана с «Центром обновления Windows», который позволяет загружать драйверы для любых устройств и по ошибке автоматически заменяет драйверы AMD в Windows 11 на свои.
Эта проблема приводит к тому, что пользователи не могут запустить утилиту AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition — мощный инструмент для настройки видеокарт. При попытке открыть программу пользователи видят следующее предупреждение:
«Центр обновления Windows мог автоматически заменить ваш драйвер AMD Graphics. Соответственно, версия AMD Software, которую вы запустили, несовместима с установленным драйвером AMD Graphics».
В службе поддержки AMD подтвердила, что «Центр обновления Windows» установил UWP-драйвер для видеокарты Radeon, который несовместим с установленной версией AMD Software. Для решения этой проблемы компания предоставила следующие рекомендации:
- Откройте «Поиск» на панели задач (Win + S).

После этих манипуляций рекомендуется переустановить утилиту AMD Software с сайта AMD. Пользователи, предпочитающие использовать UWP-драйверы для видеокарт Radeon, могут удалить программное обеспечение AMD и продолжить использовать программное обеспечение OEM-драйвера.
Using AMD Software Adrenalin Edition for Windows, you can update drivers, check game statistics, manage your AMD graphics card, and do a lot more. However, when the error “AMD driver replaced by Windows Update” is encountered after updating Windows, it prevents the program from launching.
This happens because the AMD Software Adrenaline Edition driver and the Windows-installed UWP AMD graphics driver conflict. To resolve the issue, you will need to manually reinstall the AMD Radeon drivers. Without further ado, let’s begin.
What’s Wrong With My AMD Adrenalin Driver
There are no issues with the AMD Adrenalin Driver provided by the Hardware manufacturer. However, there is an issue of conflict between drivers. Here is what happens:
1. During the initial setup, the Windows operating system installs the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter by default. It has display graphics capabilities, so you can install the required drivers and configure your new computer.

Are You Able To Fix The Error?
We hope the above methods were easy to understand and helped you fix the “Windows update may have automatically replaced your AMD graphics driver” issue. We want to know which method helped fix your issue in the comments section below.
If you use an AMD graphics card with Windows 11 or 10, you might see a warning message from AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition. This message says that Windows Update has changed your AMD Graphics driver, so the AMD Software you have doesn’t work with the new driver. You’ll usually see this warning when your computer starts or when you try to open AMD Software. It says:
AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition Warning
Windows Update may have automatically replaced your AMD Graphics driver. Hence, the version of AMD Software you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD Graphics driver.
For information on how to resolve this, please go to:
https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/pa-300
After you close this message, AMD Software won’t open, which can be a problem if you need it for setting up your graphics. This guide will show you how to fix this step by step.
How about using the AMD Software Compatibility Tool?
When you see the compatibility warning, AMD suggests visiting their support page and using the AMD Software Compatibility Tool. This tool automatically finds and installs a compatible version of AMD Software for your graphics driver. This can quickly solve your problem and get your AMD Software working again.
However, this fix might only work until the next Windows Update. Windows Update tends to change your AMD graphics driver, which might bring back the same compatibility issue. If you are part of the Windows Insider Program, the complexity increases as the AMD graphics drivers for insiders might not have an immediately compatible AMD Software version. Sometimes, you might also see the message “Unable to detect active AMD Display Driver” when using the AMD Software Compatibility Tool. If this happens, you should look at the permanent solution we’ll discuss next.
Next, we’ll talk about more permanent ways to stop this issue by turning off automatic driver updates through Windows Update.

Why drivers from Windows Update might not work well
Windows Update tries to keep your system updated by installing the latest drivers and security patches. But sometimes, these drivers aren’t fully compatible with AMD Software for a few reasons.
- Windows Update often gives you generic drivers that might not have all the special features or tweaks that are specific to your AMD Graphics card.
- AMD might release new drivers to fix problems or add features, but it can take a while for these updates to show up in Windows Update.
- The driver version from Windows Update might not match what AMD Software needs, which can often cause compatibility problems.
- AMD tests their drivers thoroughly with AMD Software. Drivers from Windows Update might not be tested as much, which can lead to stability or compatibility issues.
How to keep driver compatibility problems away
To reduce the chance of running into problems between AMD Software and your graphics driver, do the following.
- As we mentioned earlier, turning off automatic driver updates from Windows Update lets you pick which driver versions you install.
- Regularly check for driver updates on the AMD website or through AMD Software to make sure you have the newest and most compatible versions.
- Using AMD’s auto-detect tool can help you find the best driver for your system, lowering the risk of compatibility issues.
