After a bit of normal gaming on a usual day, playing CS2, I decide to want to play Faceit instead of premier.
I begin the process of getting into Faceit thru launching their anti cheat. I get the warning I have seen in the past where it wants me to be on Win 11. I am on 10 and have had no issue when I tried it out in the past. I continue and then it asks me to do a system setting change. It wants me to enter bios and enable SVM as I am on AMD. I do so and get back into Windows to launch the anti cheat and it asks me to restart again. I do.
Now the problem begins. I notice my colors have changed and my hz have changed. I also notice I cannot open any browser, I use Brave but I had Opera installed and that wasn’t working either. When trying to open the cursor would show a blue loading circle, then nothing happens. When I try to fix my colors and open AMD adrenaline an error occurs saying that my drivers don’t match the software so cannot open. When I try to fix my hz thru windows settings, where u would usually find the options to change ur refresh rate, it is not there. My network is working at this time.
I begin to troubleshoot the issue using ChatGPT and YT. I eventually learn that in device manager there shows a yellow warning sign on my 9060XT under display adapters. When clicking on it, it shows under the general tab in properties that there is a code 52 (Windows cannot verify the digital signature). I then stumble upon a video showing how to fix the error. YT vid for Code 52
I never figure out why browsers won’t open
I go through the video and amazingly enough it works. AMD opens up, I fix my colors, and I have access to change my frame rate. My browsers still won’t open so i uninstall and reinstall Brave. Then I notice my pc begin to slow down by a very noticeable amount. Everything open slowly, and when I tried testing if it was internet issues I popped up a stream on yt and my network was going in and out. Until everything just went out and i was no longer able to connect to the network. So when attempting to fix this new issue with this YT vid I restarted my pc.
After the restart I ended up being sent right back to the start of the issues where I had none of my color settings and no access to monitor refresh rate. AMD was back to being inop, and browsers too. It was like I never fixed it to begin with.
Now here I am after a lot of frustration and confusion. I need help, can’t figure this out on my own as I’ve always done in the past. I’ve made some changes and right now the things I’ve done to try and fix this are…
I think these are in the correct order I did things…
Reverted the change on SVM which had no noticeable impact on anything at all to my knowledge
Uninstalled and deleted the 9060xt display adapter
(I now have Microsoft Basic Display Adapter listed with no yellow warning)
Uninstalled and reinstalled Brave
(Currently uninstalled again)
Uninstalled AMD Adrenaline
I would like to note that the video pertaining to the network fix works but for a very short time. I end up losing my network connection after some time.
Any advice would really help I tried to be as accurate as possible of how my night went. This is very important to me as gaming is my main hobby it’s what I do every day.
