But why is it that only AMDs stuff breaks and not Nvidia? If this was the first time Windows update broke something Radeon related, fair enough but it isn't.  It happens fairly frequently. If Microsofts update broke both AMD and Nvidias drivers, fair enough but they don't. Not to mention we have seen those other issues where Windows somehow manages to overwrite AMDs most recent drivers so you get a warning message:

Imo I'd rather have Nvidia's 1998 UI that almost never breaks than needing to constantly worry about AMDs "modern" UI. Ideally of course, Nvidia would update their UI so it looks modern while AMD would update their drivers so it would stop breaking from Windows updates. We all know Microsoft is a trash company but if Nvidia found a way to prevent their drivers from breaking via Windows update, AMD can too.

When a Windows update broke Adobe products, was it Adobe's fault? When a Windows update caused problems with lots of VPNs, who was at fault?

MSoft is the one launching updates that brakes other companies softwares, programs that worked well up until that point. To me, the cause of those problems is easy to see, and it's also easy to see the reason for those problems: poor testing before release.

Tell me, if someone riding a motorcycle makes a turn at an intersection with the traffic light green but without putting on the blinker and a car that has run/jumped a red light crashes into him, will you blame the motorcycle or the car? This is the same situation, because while AMD's control center may have its flaws, it's MSoft the one has caused this problem.

Like I get what you are saying that it should be on Microsoft to test out updates before release to make sure they work on every GPU vendor and I am not disagreeing. But the issue is that why is it that Nvidia products never seems to have wide spread issues like this from Windows updates while Radeon products do multiple times a year when it comes to windows updates? If it's like okay this update broke Radeon products, this other update broke Nvidia products and etc. Fair enough. But that isn't the case. It's more like, this update broke Radeon products today, wait a few months, this new update broke Radeon products again, wait some more months, oh another update broke Radeon products again. 

The point is that this is becoming a frequent enough occurrence it's clear that whatever the way that Microsoft is testing Radeon products is clearly not working and Microsoft isn't adjusting their testing methodology enough to count for the frequent occurrence of Radeon drivers getting cucked. And this is where AMD needs to step in because Microsoft is making their products look bad because of the fact that we do get these articles relatively frequently about Radeon drivers getting cucked by windows updates. AMD needs to go to Microsoft and figure this out because Nvidia sure has.
