A Windows 11 update completed while the Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Display Driver Update was in progress, so it asked me to restart my PC. When I did the restart, the Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Display Driver Update that was in progress seemed to disappear.

I did a search on what to do, and it said to go to Start Menu > Settings > Windows Updates > Check for Updates, BUT I didn't see "Windows Updates" after I did "Start Menu > Settings".

What do I do now?

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Windows update

    The immediate AI answer said to do Start Menu > Settings > Windows Updates > Check for Updates, which I did, again, to no avail, as I couldn't find the words Windows Update or Windows Updates in Settings.

    Hi, good day!

    If the Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. – Display driver update disappeared after you restarted your PC, it most likely means the update was completed.

    To confirm, you can check Device Manager > Display adapters and see if your AMD graphics adapter is listed normally. You can also right-click it, select Properties > Driver, and check the Driver Version and Driver Date.

    For the Windows Update location, try opening Settings and looking at the left-hand menu. Windows Update should be near the bottom. If it is not there, you can press Windows key + R to open Run, type:

    ms-settings:windowsupdate

    Press Enter.

    I look forward to receiving your update and I'm willing to collaborate with you till we resolve the issue. Do keep me informed by clicking "Add comment" below.

    OnAMD systems, Windows Update can sometimes replace a newer GPU driver with an older version, which may reduce performance or cause AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition to stop opening.

    You can confirm this by checking whether AMD Software opens correctly. If it does not open, or if it opens but shows a driver version you did not install, rather than the newer 26.9.x version, Windows Update may have overwritten the driver.

    Check the driver version and confirm what you find. Then I can explain how to install the newest driver properly and prevent Windows Update from replacing it again.

    I noticed you reported my answer doesn't resolve the issue, and I want to make sure I answered your question completely and accurately.

    I'm glad to hear that the Display Driver update completed successfully. It sounds like everything is working as expected now. Thanks for the update!
