Regarding the issues I had updating my AMD drivers, where my Claymore miner would freeze while building OpenCL:

I performed a clean install of Windows and everything worked great with latest drivers 17.11.1 . It was the 1st time that my miner run without a single crash for 24h straight. Then out of the sudden, my rig restarted (I think it restarted because of windows updates) and the same freeze problem reappeared! I let my rig cool down just to be sure that it is not a hardware issue, I tested it again and the problem remained.

I once again performed a clean install of Windows and now once again everything is fine with latest drivers 17.11.1. I did my best to block Windows from updating again.

When I have more info, I will let you know, in case some other poor fellow has the same issues I had.

My rig:

ASUZ Prime Z270-P
8x RX 580 8GB Nitro+ (Hynix)
Windows 10 Pro
Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.11.1
Claymore Dual Miner v.10.1
Modded BIOS

you should disable windows updates and everything will run normally
