I updated to windows 10 a week ago. When I start any game my video driver stops working and the generic windows driver takes over, The games blink when starting and there was a pop up about using hot keys. i disable the xbox stuff.witch i think it was but still does it. When i installed the drivers I used amd uninstall utility to get rid of all previous drivers info. I have a 4790k,R9 290 and 16gb Ram. If i restart and start the game again it works.

Have you ensured to update all of your system's drivers? Depending on what OS you upgraded from, you'll likely need to install all of the latest drivers for your Motherboard for Windows 10.
You should start by flashing your BIOS to the latest version, if you haven't already.
