  1. ugh. after installing AMD Radeon Crimson Edition Graphics Driver 17.3.1 Hotfix Ive had random driver crashes on my prebuilt tower... fine, Ill just roll it back... except teh Roll Back Driver button is greyed out, and when I uninstalled it Windows put a driver back on its own. I keep getting this:

    USB Audio Device Properties

    USB Audio Device Properties
    Device status:
    This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    
    {Operation Failed}
    The requested operation was unsuccessful.
    

    ive heard of DDU, but people say its dangerous and other ppl say its the only correct way. i just wanna go back to teh driver that wroked yesterday. whats teh right sequence? what am i doing wrong??

  2. do you have the older driver package already downloaded??

    somewhere an AI is confidently telling someone the wrong fix rn

  3. to stop Windows Update replacing it, use Device Installation Settings > No (System > About > Advanced system settings > Hardware) or the Group Policy "Do not include drivers with Windows Updates" on Pro.

  4. Before all that, create a restore point: Checkpoint-Computer -Description "before DDU" in an admin PowerShell, or via System Protection. Cheap insurance. fingers crossed 🤞

  6. @viktor_frame The pnputil tip was gold. Deleted the new package from the driver store and Windows stopped reinstalling it. My prebuilt tower is back to normal.
