Here are my steps and results so far:

Use DDU to uninstall the drivers
I copied the files from 16.9.2 to 17.5.1 driver and installed.
I DID NOT use pixel patcher, but the driver was recognized anyway. Weird.
I started mining, but now I was getting "GPU Found wrong share" overclock error on one of the GPUs. I had to underclock that GPU, so the hash rate went from 29.5MH/s to 28MH/s (RX 480 MSI G1 Gaming 4GB)

So far running for 4 hours stable.

Actually, when I used the Pixel Patcher, Windows wouldn't start. I would have to do a system restore.

If I use DDU and reinstall 16.9.2 or 16.10.1, it works for 1-7 hours, then all the GPUs go code 43 again.

I'm going to try a 17.x.x driver mutated and then use pixel patcher.

I have the same going on here. Disabled all updates, disabled the driver update settings in system and yet microsoft keeps shoving this stupid thing down my throat no matter what I do. It is really starting to piss me off. I turn it of for a *bleeping* reason   Angry

I use the mutated driver. The 5th gpu keeps dropping off. The other 4 keep mining just fine.

Yep, sounds like bios signature issue. Be sure to remove the previous driver with DDU in safe mode and apply pixel patcher after the new driver install.

Run Pixel Patcher as windows did a forced driver update.

Yep, you're probably having the issue lots of discussed here--modded BIOS on the cards I assume? Microsoft pushed an automatic update for RX cards this month.  You have to block it and roll back.  Roll through this thread:

Woke up and checked on my miners this morning. One of them has code 43 on all the cards. First time I've seen that. Anyone else see that before? Restarting didn't help, but it still boots to Windows.

I have 4x RX 480 PowerColor Red Dragon 8GB
2x RX 480 MSI G1 Gaming 4GB

Windows 10, 16.9.2 drivers. Running Claymore 9.3.
