AMD Switchable Graphics not working in Windows 10 (HP Pavilion DV7t-4100), How to stop Automatic Driver Updates in Windows 10

but how do you stop windows update from making automatically updates? because win10 dont have any option to disable auto updates, if i install win7 drivers, the windows update is gonna update it automatically

I've searched other forums as well and found this website from Microsoft. Since i installed Windows 7 again, i'm not able to test it myself but pherhaps someone here could give it a try? It's a work around to temporally turn off automatic updates.

I also Searched and found this method I am trying it now so far so good.

Advanced System Settings

Hardware Tab

So I seen this article http://www.ghacks.net/2015/07/27/microsoft-releases-tool-to-block-windows-10-updates/

that explains the use of the tool you can get from microsoft. It will block auto updates if I read it right just haven't tried it yet went to using a vga for now. Links in the article and here. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3073930 I sure hope it helps you, I know your pain when your machine isn't working up to par!

Found the problem buddy..... :D
That you are looking for, the switchable menu, that dont exist anymore. That menu is calling by "Fixed Mode" when is supported until windows 8.1.
With Windows 10 only supports "Dynamic Mode" that amd uses since 2012. In dynamic mode let you choose which gpu but by applications/profiles. With the driver that windows update downloaded some profiles are locked and the games freezed (indications that was intel graphics activated).
I tried to download last version to both drivers, with detect tools, always first intel, and then amd. intel said i was up to date and amd downloaded last version 15.7.1, and it works, then with dynamic mode, all games were freezing, now with the update, they unlocked most of that profiles, and no more freezes in games. I hope i can help in something :)

SOLVED

- search for "device installation settings"

- Select options as shown

- Go to Device manager (right click on start button)

- Uninstall the drivers (right click on device - uninstall) and check "delete driver software for the device"

- Graphic card will show as "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" (Scan for new hardware if it doesnt show)

- Download latest AMD driver from HP (in my case HP only had Windows 7 drivers for my laptop model, so I am installing Windows 7 drivers in Compatibility Mode as explained below), when you run the setup, it will extract the drivers in C:\swsetup\SP50640

- Update the driver

- Go to C:\swsetup\SP50640 and run it in compatibility mode (right click on "setup" go to "compatibility" tab, check "run this program in compatibility mode for" select Windows 7 from drop down menu, click ok, then run the setup.

- you'll have the fixed mode switchable graphics

- HDMI Out to TV only works when AMD Graphic card (High Performance GPU) is selected, now I can switch to AMD and I have display on TV working great. Previously with automatically updated drivers from Microsoft it was not possible to switch to AMD and hence there was no HDMI Out.

- No need to download or install Intel graphic driver because it is included in AMD package and will be installed automatically.

- Now to prevent driver updates, download and run the Microsoft “Show or hide updates” Troubleshooter described in KB 3073930. (Or run the troubleshooter directly by clicking here.)

- Click Advanced

- Uncheck "Apply repairs automatically"

- Click "Hide updates"

- Check AMD and Intel drivers

- This will prevent Automatic Driver Updates.

- Somehow the multi display settings in AMD Catalyst Control Centre werent working for me but Windows Display Settings works (right click on desktop), change "Multiple Display" from drop down menu

Hope this helps, thank you for all your answers, its what made this possible.

SheldoreD, did you use drivers for Windows 7? I have HP dv6 6030ew and the only latest drivers are from 2011 - only for Win 7 (e.g. there are no drivers for Win 8). Should I install these drivers on Win 10? Please also tell me is HDMI working for you? I was trying almost everything with these drivers with no results...

Moreover, did you install Intel HP graphics drivers from HP page? Or you just left drivers from Microsoft?

Thank you in advance :)

I used the intel detect tools  and amd detect tool (installed amd catalyst 15.7.1 and this is working, but only in dynamic mode

I used the latest drivers from HP, in my case Windows 7 drivers were the latest for my laptop, HP doesn't have any Windows 8 or 8.1 drivers for my laptop. And yes I have HDMI out to TV working fine now because now I can select AMD graphics (High Performance GPU) from Switchable graphics and HDMI out only works once AMD selected. No need to download or install Intel graphic driver because it is included in AMD package and will be installed automatically. The Intel driver on HP page is for those models with Intel graphic only.

Many thanks for information :) and the last question:

Do you have any problems with games/programs? I read that many people have freezes/BSOD etc.

I have not faced any issues yet, it has been 4 days since installing these drivers, I mostly use this laptop for browsing, playing videos and light gaming on TV and all is working fine. I use Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic (with CCCP plugins), Kodi and iTunes for media playback. I have tested my games , I play mostly FPS, but on medium to low settings (coz thats only what my laptop can handle) and they worked fine.
