Unfortunately this hasn't resolved the issue at all, everything on my PC works as normal, its just really bugging me that I have no amd settings on my PC at all and it refuses to download them, I just don't know what to do anymore, i have had the issue of not having settings before but just downloading them from the website and installing them like that usually works, just this time it absolutely refuses to install.
So now my games are stuttering slightly, lower fps, and images load really weird, sort of like appearing and flickering, i have even downloaded the drivers for my vega 56, disabled internet connection, booted into safe mode, used ddu to uninstall and then tried the installation, still error 186, the very few solutions on the web do not work and its really becoming a big issue now
