    There is an AMD utility to remove all of their software: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/gpu-601

    You might try that. Whether it will remove residuals from the Windows Registry, I don't know.

    Check in 'Control panel > Programs > Uninstall....' to make sure AMD software is gone.
    Also might want to check 'Local disk' for any AMD leftover folders/files.
    I said above I DID THAT!! since everyone is telling me to do things I have already done I give up I put the AMD card back in this system. Thanks for all the good suggestions.

    But you didn't try the AMD software cleanup utility?

    Not sure that it will help, but it's not a big deal.

    Perhaps you should mark the thread as solved, if you're done with it.

    ​Well I just saw your post when I clicked the email link it took me to the first page of the thread. I did not realize there was a second page my mistake I don't always scroll down because of so many ads on this site. Anyway yes I guess this is resolved. Thanks everyone for the help.
    Also as far as the cleanup utility. When I uninstalled the AMD card I removed with Revo Uninstaller paid version. LOL I never ever remove from Apps because it does not really remove it's worse that Add/Remove.

    I've never had an issue like yours. The graphics card in my primary system is an AMD one, which replaced an nVidia card.

    For my own purposes, I'd clean install Windows before letting Windows Updates annoy me.

    If you've cleaned out all the obvious AMD stuff, the last thing to try (before a clean install) would be using RegEdit to remove any residual AMD references from the Windows registry. This wouldn't be particularly safe, so it'd be wise to image the boot partition before doing that. (Or backing up the Registry, which is not something I've done in years.)

    Best of luck.

    If you log in you shouldn't see any adds.
