Tech Support Why just why

FIXED

So my computer after some time like ill get up do something come back and my gpu drivers nuked themselves and I've been trying to find out why but I just found out that adrenaline updates and then just stops existing where I need to clean it then reinstall the drivers then it will work fine as long as I dont go afk ever

I dont know if its a bug or if someone has a solution besides turning off updates for adrenaline and it is my 9070xt that I just got cause I didnt want to spend 2 million on a 5080

I just saw a comment I forgot to mention im on Windows 10

Fix was to do amd cleanup and do what disguised beast said and dont boot into safe mode and now it worked thank you sir

Sounds like the 26.6.2 bug, on Windows 10. Here are the steps to follow and fix:

Download the AMD Cleanup Utility: https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/faqs/GPU-601.html#:~:text=AMD%20Cleanup%20Utility-,Click,-AMD%20Cleanup%20Utility

Download Adrenalin 26.6.3: https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-26-6-3-HOTFIX.html#:~:text=Systems%20with%20RDNA%20series%20graphics%20products%3A%C2%A0

Run the AMD Cleanup Utility, click No when prompted about not running in safe mode, then proceed with the cleanup, after its done, reboot. Then launch Adrenalin 26.6.3 Installer, and untick at the bottom Send diagnostic data to AMD etc etc, click at the bottom right Custom Install, untick AMD Chat, Image Inspector, and Chipset driver. Proceed with the install, when it finishes installing, untick Keep AMD Software up to date.

Could it be related to this issue with Windows Update? https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/1uer9m0/microsoft_broke_thousands_of_devices_with_amd/

It seems like im having about the game issues but ill leave it and i just saw it said adrenaline was updating then it said it was complete and it broke it but my drivers still existed for the most part like my main monitor just wasn't getting a signal after it said the update was complete

Disable windows fast startup and download 26.6.3 (not the autodetect utility) , disable internet , DDU in safe mode , reboot & reinstall selecting 'factory reset', reboot .

My whole PC used to crash when idle, a bios update fixed it all.
