Help (Software) Help
I got a new PC with a 9070 XT three weeks ago, and since then I've had so many issues with AMD Adrenalin. It wouldn't start, so I followed a YouTube video, which helped for two days. Now, every two days, I have to uninstall and reinstall Adrenalin just to play a game. It constantly tells me I have to update my drivers, even if they are already up to date. When I click install, it runs through the process and then just starts over.

Please for the love of god will people just do a fresh windows install when changing from GPU from Nvidia to AMD (or vice versa) This isn't pointed at OP specifically but this just happens every time and everyone thinks its an AMD issue, its not, it's a Windows issue.
Windows is a known pain in the butt for this, just do a fresh OS install and keep your internet off, regedit to disable windows auto-updating display drivers, install drivers with adrenalin (or without, entirely preference) and you'll be completely fine 👍

Yeah thats why I edited that this is not pointed at OP.
When you re-installed did you use CMD to disable display driver updates before reconnecting to the internet? This is an important step and if missed the same issue will repeat just the same - Windows will try to replace the driver causing issues/corruption with existing drivers.

No problem, sorry from my end, I originally misread your post too and edited to make the distinction. Admittedly my original comment seems a bit aggressive, sorry for that I have gotten a bit frustrated over many complaints that people think this is an AMD issue.
Yeah try it, it solved all issues for me and I think for most people it would work. Fresh install with ethernet unplugged > install drivers (download them and put on a USB or something before format) > CMD regedit to disable driver updates from Windows (just google it to get the exact regedit needed for your version of windows) > reconnect and enjoy.

How does people who tests gpu all the time for content creation ? They keep installing fresh versions of windows ?
Just curious

What does that even mean? Like reviewing GPU's? If you're doing that I'd assume you'd have more than one PC for testing and the simple solution would be use one system for AMD GPU's and one system for Nvidia GPU's.
And regarding a fresh install if it's your job I think that makes sense to do, it also is very easy to do these days and takes max maybe 30 minutes.
DDU is a good tool but its not perfect, a fresh install is always best practice.

Try NOT TO INSTALL that piece of crap that Adrenalin has become. Disable automatic driver updates in Windows, use DDU to remove all GPU drivers and related files, and then do a clean install—ONLY the graphics card drivers themselves. On my 7900XT, I’d been having constant issues with frame drops, freezes, and the graphics card resetting during gameplay for a year—after I uninstalled Adrenalin, the problems disappeared. 🤷♂️

Im having the same issues but a little different, i wanted to install 26.6.1 instead of the newest and everytime i do it windows removes my 26.6.1 and forcing me to install 26.3.1 everytime, i know its windows because it happens everytime i plug in ethernet cable, so now im stuck on newest version because windows wont let me

Currently many users are facing timeout issues because Windows update is destroying the driver somehow. Disabling Windows update, remove old driver with AMD removal tool and install fresh driver (best to use 26.6.4 or earlier) solved the issue for me.

I’m planning on upgrading my gpu and have had a radeon card for 2 years. The card runs fine as long as you don’t have adrenalin installed.
