Recent Radeon updates are crashing Windows
While it is stated that this problem occurred in a very narrow sector, it is thought that the “Factory Reset” option, which should not be checked before the new driver is installed, lies at the source of the problem.
AMD stated that they have started investigations on the issue and are aware of the problem. The company’s statement is as follows: “We have identified an issue that may occur in a very small number of instances in the event of a computer update during the installation of AMD Software Adrenalin Edition and we are actively investigating the situation. We recommend users to ensure that all system updates are applied or paused before installing the driver, and to ensure that “Factory Reset” is unchecked during the AMD driver installation process.”
Frankly, we can say that this problem is another blow to the trust in AMD’s drivers. However, as we said above, this issue occurs in very few specific scenarios. To avoid this problem, DDU can be used to uninstall the installed driver. Then the latest versions of the Software Adrenaline Edition can be installed. If you do not want to use DDU, we recommend that you update Software Adrenalin Edition 23.2.1/23.2.2 after other Windows updates are done.
