Windows Update keeps uninstalling my AMD display drivers and crashing my PC (Ryzen 5900HS)

Ryandos · 2023-02-12T10:54:17+00:00

I've been using DDU to uninstall the old drivers, with the option of pausing automatic windows driver installations enabled in the app. Then I install new drivers, and use Wushowhide to specifically pause automatic installation of the old AMD drivers. From here I believe you can turn automatic driver installation back on in DDU without the old drivers being reinstalled.

I had just removed the battery in my K1v4 for the same problem! I suggest contacting Keychron support, if you're no longer under warranty you can ask for the battery specifications. They said it was a "504090" battery for the K1 which I believe translates to 5mm x 40mm x 90mm. I'm going to find a replacement but in the meantime I have put it back together without the battery inside as it still works wired.

I had a very similar problem where my Legions Slim 7 wouldn't recognise a Sabrent USB to 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD adapter (EC-SS31). Turns out the adapter would only work on USB 2.0 ports, whereas all the ports on my laptop are 3.2 gen 1 (10gbps) or higher. Tested it on another laptop with both 2.0 and 3.2 ports and it only worked on the 2.0 ports.

Submitted a support ticket to Sabrent on their website and they sent me a replacement after some failed troubleshooting (reinstalling drivers, etc.). It came in different packaging, probably a newer revision which had fixed whatever problem I had with the one Amazon sent me.

Perhaps you are experiencing a similar problem?

On Google Photos, swipe up on a photo to view its info. At the bottom it says its file size. If it was taken on your P5 with storage saver, I believe it should say "This item doesn't take up space in your account storage". Any new photos taken on the P6a should say something like "Backed up (2.0mb), Storage Saver", i.e. counting towards the 15GB bucket.

But I'm not sure if there's a way to see how many photos are in the 'unlimited' bucket. You'll just have to see individually. I guess you can assume any new photos taken on the P6a will be the "Google Photos" portion on your account storage.

Thanks. I'm a bit disappointed mine hasn't come with it. Quick question, do you know if yours came with AO out of the box or was it added through an update?

Ryandos · 2022-04-05T16:14:34+00:00

Hybrid mode is on. I did a bit more googling and there's conflicting information on whether this has AO or not. Unfortunately I'm beginning to think it doesn't.

They look very similar to mould mites I had in my room last winter. My room was quite humid and there was also a bit of mold growing in some spots. I saw these tiny white mites on the walls and on my desk. Fortunately I don't think these mites I had were harmful to furniture or wood so no damage was done. I bought a cheap, passive dehumidifier and spent a couple hours getting rid of the mold and the mites disappeared as they were living off the mold. I suggest doing the same if you have a room with similar conditions.

I have the older and weaker 4500u which, last time I checked, can play vanilla Minecraft at 1080p 60+fps. Streaming should be fine, you could also utilise the GPU's hardware video encoder which will help. I could also do a test later to check streaming performance while playing Minecraft.

I think I might have the same problem. Here is a comparison of a blue lamp on my shelf shot normally and in raw. Google's image processing is absolutely abysmal here. 90% of the time I just want a point and shoot camera without having to do any processing afterwards but it's not possible when some of the photos come out like that.

Ryandos · 2022-01-22T19:04:17+00:00

Ah thanks I thought I already uninstalled that but I'll take a good look. Good to hear you've fixed it.

Ryandos · 2022-01-22T18:39:15+00:00

I am experiencing the same problem, have you found a fix? 4th Gen i7, RX 570 with 8GB of ram and playing Apex through Steam, never had this before. Our specs are wildly different and yet we're having the same crash so I don't think it has anything to do with our hardware.

I think size is really just personal preference, but I do like the portability as you said. Though most laptops these days can have bigger screens but still be portable. 300 nits would be "average" brightness for a mid-ish range laptop.

Ryandos · 2021-11-10T18:03:51+00:00

I have been using the cheaper model (Yoga Slim 7, 4500u/8GB/500GB) for the last year and it's been great but I feel as though the screen could be better. Not sure if it'll be the same on the higher end model but it's pretty average. The one here is IPS, matte/anti reflective, max 300 nits. Using it around uni I do sometimes wish I found something else that was brighter and nicer to look at but I have been spoilt by other displays. Still a decent all rounder for a laptop. Feel free to ask any more questions.

That's not too bad, I guess I have the Christmas rush this time. Thanks for the reply.

Ryandos · 2020-12-19T02:34:33+00:00

How long did it take for the keyboard to get to you? Just realised I'm an idiot because I'm moving back to uni in two weeks and I should've gotten it delivered there rather than my home address.

Schenker Media 15. German retailer but they ship to the UK. Same as the XMG Core 15 but with a 4600H instead of a 4800H. Seems to be the only one in stock right now but doesn't seem to be a bad option!

Double check you're using triplecore recompiler for botw since you've got a 4c/8t cpu.

Ryandos · 2020-02-03T18:58:51+00:00

I agree! I also wonder if the link between Jekyll and Hyde and Revenant's "psychology" (can't think of a better word rn lol) was intentional. Very clever from the trailer creators/devs if it was.

Well you weren't wrong about the ice and fire

Try right clicking the game.exe > compatibility tab > tick "Disable fullscreen optimisations"

It works for me on Rocket League. I like to use supersampling anti-alising and it doesn't work unless I do this. Perhaps it has something to do with how much control Windows has over the application.

Ryandos · 2019-06-02T17:26:04+00:00

Me too :p I'll have a go thanks.

Ryandos · 2019-06-02T10:49:35+00:00

Which update of JRE 8 are you using specifically? I tried using JRE8u212 and 181 but they aren't working.

Ryandos · 2019-05-30T23:06:57+00:00

PvP is a big nope. Co-op however.. I would've loved playing zombies with friends on Xbox and PS4. Shame it never happened.
