No brief freeze when alt-tabbing or moving to another window with the mouse. After reading this thread, I ditched the junk and installed only the extracted driver. While this weird half second delay before the windows update again on change has been annying me for a few days, today I decided it was enough. However, I experienced weird freezes when changing between my game in a fullscreen window and other windows on other monitors.I assume that some feature that is meant to permit control of game graphics behaviour or provide an overlay which I don't want is messing with my cherished ability to smoothly swap between game, voice chat, browser (not edge) and other windows. I expected this to be retained from previous versions and felt violated when these features were crammed into my system without prior notice or consent.Īfter spending some frustratingly ineffective time looking for a way to disable the stuff I didn't want to use and discovering that all I could do was disable hotkeys, I decided to give it a few days and see if it worked ok. In previous AMD graphics driver packages there were options which allowed the user to ditch unwanted features. I was horrified when I tried to update my graphics drivers recently and got hit with a boatload of stuff I didn't ask for. Thank you guys, in particular darkangel2154! Note: Make sure you delete all previous AMD installation programs and folders. Device Manager will automatically scan the entire folder for the appropriate driver and install it with the minimal related software if applicable like Radeon Settings.Īfter the driver has been updated, again delete the AMD Folder from C:\ or where you unpacked to save Disk space and to prevent future conflicts in driver installations. Guide it to the AMD Folder that was created when you cancelled the installation program at C:\AMD or when you unpacked it using 7-Zip. Now all you have to do is go to Device Manager - Display and use Update Driver. When it asks to install, cancel it to prevent it from continuing to install the driver or simply use 7-zip to unpack the AMD installation. After it reboots back to Windows desktop, with the internet still disconnected, run the AMD installation program. If you just want to install the driver and its related software but nothing else, you were correct in using Device Manager.įirst use DDU in Safe mode with Internet disconnected and also delete C:\AMD folder in the Root Directory.
