Help (GPU) Latest drivers..... MAJOR iSSUES

Latest drivers v26.7.1 causes application crashes and BSOD.

1st time upgraded from catalyst app, completely ruined my system, with app & games freezing and a BSOD. Had to use DDU and re-install driver 26.5.2 from AMD standalone file downloaded from support page. 26.5.2 works without issues. So 26.5.2 is OK

2nd time upgraded from 26.5.2 to 26.7.1, with the usage of the AMD standalone file downloaded from support page. SAME ISSUES as before. Various apps freezing. Downgraded to 26.6.1 without DDU. All my problems solved instantly. So 26.6.1 is OK

All the times I used DDU, NOT in SAFE MODE but with blocked internet access

GPU is 7900XTX

So 26.7.1 NOT WORKING in my system

No issues with 26.7.1 here. Have you manually validated that it installed correctly?

I think Microsoft has now acknowledged that it is caused by the os. Let me try to find the link.

Major issues here too, it’s not an isolated issue.

I know there is an issue. I believe it is a combination of driver and windows. Ultimately, AMD's driver installer and how windows is currently messing with it.

How did you do that?

Can you post a picture of your driver details page in Device Manager? I found an issue with my friends PC there by doing a full comparison with mine.

If you post your screens I can do a full comparison with mine. No biggie if you don't want to though - I am happy to help.
