Tech Tip: If you are having trouble deciding which is the right driver, try the Driver Update Utility for AMD. It is a software utility that will find the right driver for you - automatically. AMD updates their drivers regularly.
I have a number of laptops (Dell) with AMD APUs.
The latest updates to Windows forces a driver update to the AMD R5 video cards installed in these devices. This causes the system to freeze every few seconds. If you move a mouse cursor around, it will stop responding every 2-3 seconds for about 1/4 of a second making it extremely frustrating to use.
I have confirmed that it is Windows 10 builds with newer AMD drivers. It doesn't matter if it's the default drivers Windows Update installs from Microsoft, or the AMD Crimson software. One of my systems that had older drivers worked fine until 1703 which over-wrote the old AMD drivers with the new ones (and won't allow me to roll back).

If I uninstall ALL video card drivers and let the system default to 'Microsoft Basic Graphics Adaptor' then the response returns to normal. Install the video card drivers - either via Windows Update or direct from AMD - and the freezing behaviour returns.
I'm not entirely sure if it's a Windows issue, or an AMD issue, but it needs to be fixed. It has made 3 PCs in my house unusable!
Updating device drivers from time to time is good as it could improve hardware performance, add features or controls and improve stability and life. The Device Manager in Windows 10/8/7 will let you change hardware settings, identify device drivers for each device, view and change settings and properties, and install, uninstall, update, roll back, enable, disable the drivers. Microsoft Updates will also let you install or update device drivers required for your system. And then again, freeware like Device Doctor or shareware like Driver Scanner will automate the process and help you identify, download, install or update drivers easily.
The recommended option would however be to go to the manufacturer’s website and then search for and download the device drivers your system requires. We have seen how the Intel Driver & Support Assistant can help us install or update drivers for Intel easily. Today we will see how you can download or update AMD drivers easily using AMD Driver Autodetect.
