The AMD Driver Thread

[MyBrainz]

I've had the missing adrenaline icon as you, but not recently. A quick reinstall brought it back for me. I can't actually recall if it was a bug at one point?

If you roll back, I believe you do need to use the cleanup utility.

I'd try first ensuring windows is up-to-date with updates and patches. Can also do SFC and DISM check. Reboot if issues are found.

I'd then uninstall the software, and remove from device manager and tick the box if it says to also remove drivers. Reboot, then run the latest driver again.

I did SFC recently, everything has been running great since March, I even have Windows Update paused until next month so I cant see it being that either.

Anyways all running fine again, for now. Will see how it goes for now but the flickering in Second Life is back so I wont be installing these latest drivers again.

Just updated from 26.5.1 to 26.5.2. No issues for me during that process.

Resolved by initial user by sounds of it. They just reinstalled the driver?

Was running 26.3.1 since release and all seemed good until, randomly, yesterday I notice no taskbar icon for adrenalin, right clicked the desktop for adrenalin (which was visible) to fire up adrenalin and nothing. So I reboot, nothing there again.

Thought to myself, lets try the new drivers then.. omg what a joke, had to use AMD utility cleanup first after 26.5.2 didnt install and then I noticed the flickering on avatars in Second Life are back! @AMD_Vik

I decide to install 26.3.1 again but not before having to run the cleanup utility first.

AMD.. wtf is going on!

I added a new 1440p Mini-LED display as my primary last week which has 3x 1080p displays running with it, does anybody know if adding that display may have upset the drivers? I doubt it but thought I'd better ask just in case.

seems that flickering was never fully fixed. we're still working on it
