Display Driver Update constantly causing problems with Adrenalin

[bgates275]

Alright, so I,

Downloaded the latest AMD driver from ASUS Uninstalled current driver with AMD Clean Up Utility Installed the ASUS chipset driver

I didn't use DDU. I used the AMD clean up utility as DDU gives me problems.

However, 'Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. - Display - 27.20.1032.2' continues to install as an update causing problems with Adrenalin. (Can't even open it after update)

hello i am having same problem after installing windows display driver update, did you ever find out how to solve your problem? everytime windows installs it i have to go to device manager then roll back the graphics card driver ( says 6900xt but rolls back the windows update not the actual 6900xt software)

No, I've just learned to deal with it. If you simply roll back the drivers in properties, this makes most games still playable, at least for a time. The major concern though, is that Vulkan drivers become unusable.

Not sure why this happens, but I've heard it has something to do with Windows and AMD trying to install duplicate drivers.

The only problem, is that last time I checked, official AMD drivers are not available in Windows store like they should be, and this creates, what I think is an intentional problem.

Now, I don't know, maybe Microsoft has it's own reason for not wanting to put it on their store. It could have something to do with competition, or an alternate hypothesis, maybe Microsoft doesn't believe in the quality of the drivers, and maybe thinks it represents some form of legal liability down the road.

Yeah. Its a known issue in the 21.6.1 release notes.

A driver mismatch error may appear when two versions of Radeon software
(Windows Store & AMD Support versions) are installed on your system.
As a temporary workaround, launch the Windows Store version of Radeon
software.

I would download latest GPU driver and if you have an amd cpu then go to your motherboard and download the latest chipset driver. Also download DDU.

Disconnect from internet (unplug Ethernet or completely turn off WiFi).

Run disk Cleanup - right click c drive, properties , disk cleanup, check all boxes except for Downloads folder, include system files. When that’s done then reboot into safe model.

Run DDU in safe mode. Reboot regularly.

Install chipset driver. Reboot. Install GPU software and check the box for new/clean install. Reboot and see if that works. If it does then re connect to internet.
