bootcamp graphics driver update problem "windows 10"

On my Mac Pro 2013 (with 2015 AMD D700 graphics cards), running Bootcamp (Windows 10, up-to-date), I am experiencing problems with this week's Bootcamp Graphics Driver update.

Specifically:

* When playing EA's "Star Wars: Battlefront":

* The game crashes occasionally where it used to never do so.

* Some non-game-action screens (such as the after-game scoreboard) flicker badly.

* Even after rebooting more than once, the Apple Software Update program shows graphics driver updates that I just installed successfully to be not installed yet.

I hope this gets fixed, because I would like to unlock the power of the dual AMD D700s in this machine. No foolin' 🙂

Mac Pro, Windows 10, null

Did you create a Windows System Restore point before the upgrade? If yes, rollback to it, and ignore the update, till you get an updated release.

Restoring to the restore point before the upgrade worked - thanks.

Can you also disable Driver Updates? For example see this or this .

Yes - I have definitely disabled the Windows driver updates, because as you clearly know, they will overwrite the correct drivers, which are the Bootcamp drivers.

Overall, a wish I have is to unlock the full gaming potential of these dual AMD D700s. Graphics on EA Battlefront's game are great, but I would guess that this machine's hardware is capable of a lot more. However, I don't have the time to go into any detailed work to do so, unfortunately.
