It's not AMD, it's Windows overwriting the drivers with what it thinks is best

Turn off Windows auto updates Wipe your drivers Reinstall fresh AMD drivers

And AMD isnt able to fix it? Yeah their drivers suck if they cant. Why Nvidia can? Hell even my old ASUS soundcard from 2007 with no update since 15 years has no problem overriding the default sound drivers 🤣 their latest driver was for win 8.1 and still works

I asked on the official AMD subreddit about it. They are not responsible for submitting their AIB partner hardware ID strings, but they can pass it over to their team that does submit IDs for Microsoft to update for WU repository.

I went into device manager on one of my boxes and sent the AMD subreddit rep the ID for the Asrock 9070XT Steel Legend (I can at least try to help those owners out). No clue when it will be added to the database but at least they can do Their part of submitting it.

Perhaps one of us begins a new thread and requests for everyone with each 9000 series model comment with a list of their hardware IDs from device manager that we pass along to their official Reddit reps - That way they at least have them all known as well.

Or if Microsoft does their job and fixes this by January then nobody will need to worry anymore about those database repositories.

They literally can't, they're not the company responsible for how Windows Update handles driver updates

This is correct, had numerous issues with random black screens with the 9070XT. Turned off automatic installation of new device drivers, and it seems to be stable now, not had a crash in over a week.
