See if the following helps - no Microsoft does not hate AMD, in fact, they have had a good relationship since the launch of the AMD 64 processor in 2003.
Does Microsoft hate AMD?

what a mess! I can't get the Windows 10 Creators update 1709 to install on a brand new build. It also totally crashed a previous stable PC when installing a printer driver.
All of the security updates install fine, but when the creators update 1709 installs, it blue screens and I have to reload from scratch. I have disconnected all extraneous USB devices, made sure all drivers were installed, made user an administrator, activated windows.
This notion that you have to unplug all USB devices is stupid. I was using WiFi to install updates, switched to wired, still crashed. I'm down to a only a USB KB and mouse.
Replaced the memory also, even though I'm not getting any hardware errors.
I'm installing on an AMD build. It's like Microsoft hates AMD all of a sudden. Even video drivers on previously stable PCs no longer work. What the heck is going on?
