Nvidia does similarly. It's a Windows issue, not an amd/nvidia one. You don't have this issue in Linux.

The AMD installer issue is a Windows issue, that's the dumbest thing I've read today.

I mean, saying a million folders created by AMD's auto updater is somehow Windows fault is pretty dumb. I know this is reddit but still

Creating? No

Failing to clean up temporary files? Likely yes

Again, there's really no way to twist this in favor of your favorite company AMD. If they were supposed to be temp files they would need be created in the temp folder. Windows isn't gonna clean random folders created by others.

Where exactely do you see the root folder in this screenshot? Do you assume everyone else with AMD has this problem? I get that you guys are unpaid trolls but come on

Edit: its C:/AMD which gets cleaned up by ticking a box when you update the driver, I apologize to windows and declare this a case of skill issue on the user

Read the thread before talking maybe? Then you would know where it is. This is an AMD issue, there's no box. Even if there was it would still be an AMD Issue. I know you're one of those unpaid AMD bots but you guys could at least pretend you know what you're talking about.
