Rollback to old version arc driver when checking for window updates

[ARC88]

System 

Core i5-13600K

Arc A770 16GB Limited Edition

I installed the latest version driver for 4952 yesterday. However, whenever Windows 11 checks for updates, it sees symptoms that automatically revert to the old version of 4577.

Windows only wanted to update Windows to the latest, but Windows forces the ARC graphics driver to install the old version (probably the WHQL driver) automatically.

I'm confused. Should I take this issue to Microsoft?

Hello ARC88,

Thank you for your time.

I have been working really hard on the investigation and now I have some questions to clarify the situation:

• When you installed the graphics driver version 31.0.101.4952, did you use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) before the installation? If you did not use it, please install it using DDU.
  • For more information, How to Use the Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to Uninstall an Intel® Graphics Driver.
• Were the updates applied then, you updated the driver?
• To determine the environment and compatibility, run and provide us with Intel® System Support Utility for Windows (SSU), you can find the steps on the link How to get the Intel® System Support Utility Logs on Windows.
