Topic: Windows update broke rig. Anyone else have this issue? - page 2. (Read 2815 times)
Has anyone tried this tool to disable updates recently? http://www.sordum.org/9470/windows-update-blocker-v1-0/ I read that using the Group Policy Editor doesn't work after the Anniversary Update, but I may try that as well. Spending two hours fixing this mess yesterday was a royal pita.
Google "set your ethernet as a metered connection".
Once you do - windows will never update again unless you do it manually.
Works in every version.

From the top of my head, here is a list of things I change in Win 10 Pro to setup for mining:
1) 16 GB virtual memory cache
2) Under power options, change monitor and PC sleep to never. Change HDD sleep to a big number.
3) Change Win 10's preference to high performance (this turns off all the fancy graphics).
3) Turn off driver updates. This is either under system or it's an individual group policy change.
4) Windows updates. Edit the relevant windows update group policy editor.
5) Look at installed programs in case something snuck in (like Riva) and delete.
6) Turn off and/or delete the live windows on the home page like sports and news etc etc.
7) Run DDU.
Install relevant AMD driver.
Add to this list if possible.

Here is the point for miners:
You need to use Win 10 Professional. Why?
a) Your copy of Win 10 can be moved around.
b) You can edit the group policy for windows updates. YOU CAN'T DO THIS FOR THE CHEAPER VERSIONS.
Googling Windows 10 update stop or words to that effect you will find a PC mag article on how to edit the group policy on updates. You can also edit the group policy on driver updates.

Go into group policy editor (type GPEDIT into Cortana and select the match Edit Group Policy), then expand:
Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update (way at the bottom)
Under Windows Update you will find a policy to "Do not include drivers with Windows Updates".
Set this to enabled and apply.
You might also want to look at: Configure Automatic Updates (I set it to enabled and option "2") as well as the other polices to see what works for you.
This will not completely lock out the windows update mechanism, but it seems to have minimized the worse behaviors of it at least for me. I still get notified of updates but this way I can choose when to apply the non-driver updates on my schedule.

everyone with AMD is having this issue.. .stupid "compatibility diagnostics" update..
Same issue, different thread, more details

What I did to fix it
ran the hide tool from windows
Then ddu all my drivers
Then got the latest amd driver installed (17.5.1)
Then ran the patcher
Everything was okay again.

For disabling windows autoupdate just use this tool:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f22d5fdb-59cd-4275-8c95-1be17bf70b21/wushowhide.diagcab
If you hide update of your card from the list of tool, windows will not intsall it anymore. Just run the tool, press next, find necessary driver and hide it...
Than:
-- With DDU uninstall all GPU driver
-- reinstall the stable version ( I used 16.9.2 on my two 6x GPU RX 480 rigs)

This seems to be working. I just tried it. I don't know what will happen next.
Only minuts after writing I am down to 5 cards I am now down to 4 cards. One card is suddenly giving a code 43. What are they doing @ windows? They want to push miners away from their software??
Just standard Microsoft long-standing issue with marketing running the company, and thinking they know what the users want better than THE USERS THAT CONSTANTLY COMPLAIN ABOUT THEIR STUPID IDEAS AND OTHER IDIOCY know what they want.
How many YEARS - or is it DECADES now - have users been bitching about "auto update causing problems" - and Micro$loth just keeps blowing those complaints off?
IMO miners should avoid Windows like the plague it has pretty much always been.

only thing that works is the show hide update tool. Immedialy after you unload the shitty driver run that tool and disable the next time it will try to update
that worked for me , total POS

I got the exact same problem. I already specify that hardware must not be updated in advance system settings. Still do not work
yap me too..
all 470 rig and 570, need to disable update in services, and disable driver update in system.
then uninstall with ddu, and install the mod driver and patch again

Shitty part is, I had it disabled and somehow it still installed an update.
For now I cant dual mine on it. Even worse, after DDU, reinstalling drivers, I ran the pixel patcher and it now only sees 5 out of my 6 GPU's and still I have been unable to fix this.
So much for disabling updates.
I'm beginning to hate windows. If anyone has the latest ethos hit me up over pm I'll pay you.

I got to it before 3 of my rigs updated.
Wasn't so lucky with 2 others.
I have them of them working with only 5 cards. Only seeing 5 out of 7 cards even in the bios.
Any ideas?

make a folder mining put it on the desktop
open it put a folder in it protected software.
open windows defender and exclude :
protected software
boot
restart
come back to windows defender check that protected software is excluded
then exclude mining
boot restart
check both folders are excluded
then download mining software and extract it to protected software.
also if windows 10 do the tricks to stop updates.
and if they fail you still are excluded from windows defender.
I do not advocate hurting people but windows defender programmers deserve a kic in the but.
