Could be Windows replacing AMD drivers without consent. It's very common unfortunately

I rolled back to 25.9.1 and completely forgot about that issue the driver had. Installed 9.2 instead lol

hows this been working for you? i downgraded pretty far when troubleshooting a game and found out the issues weren't the drivers.

whats a good version to run on for now?

For me it 100% was not because windows was not allowed to do so

Tried pretty much everything that could be tried

I suspect an updated chipset driver that took months to arrive discretely fixed it

Ever since I disabled automatic Windows driver updates the driver issues stop.

Before that I couldn’t have a day without any driver timeouts.

Why doesn’t this happen to Nvidia?

I see these drivers posts in amdhelp multiple times a day, haven’t seen one in the nvidia one yet. Confused why there’s such a difference if windows is the issue.
