The "GeForce Experience" program stops Windows 10 from automatically updating drivers. Does AMD have a similar solution to avoid broken updates?

A long time ago, someone told me that keeping "GeForce Experience" installed will stop Windows from automatically updating Nvidia's driver. That solution has worked for me. I want to update them manually.

Do Radeon cards have a similar solution? I'm mentioning this because I've read many messages from people who said their Radeon drivers were broken because Windows automatically updated to older or incompatible versions. Is the built-in method of Windows 10 that stops the automatic installation of ALL drivers the only way? Is blocking ONLY the Radeon updates impossible?

I don't have an AMD card now. I'm just curious. I have Windows 10 Pro.
 
You can do this on home as well not just Pro using group policy or regedit, control panel etc and DDU will disable automatic driver updates too.

i've never seen this in my whole life.
Only with Intel iGPUs.
 
No, AMD software doesn't have that, but DDU has and you can modify Windows group policy or some other settings to stop it. At worst, I think it's possible via registry too.
