Adrenaline has fucked my AMD/Ryzen system twice. And I'm not talking about minor issues, I'm talking blue screens and reinstalling windows issues. This simple work around is a thing of beauty. Thank you so much.
True! I remeber using Adrenaline software and thing is. I allowed Windows to download drivers automatically through internet and it downloaded without adrenaline! Thing is that I compared FPS with Adrenaline and without in some games. Battlefield 1 with Adrenaline barely held 50 on Ultra while without it clearly allowed to go beyond 90! Didn't liked Adrenaline when I have same stuff on my PC. Don't know why Adrenaline is so bad.
@@everchangingoctopus7241 so should i play games with the driver only or with a adrenaline software please need in advice cuz i have alot of bleu screen and crashes i lost all my games progresse
Adrenaline is so bad that i genuinely am looking to return / sell my 6800XT so i can go back to nvidia and have a normal driver set up. Thank you for posting this
I just bought a 6400 and you are not kidding! I have random black screens that go in and out. Weird refresh rate issues (im guessing freesync....) Im missing Nvidia. I'm wondering if i should just return it. I'm also having issues with emulators
@@hopessaja I still have the 6400. I ended up buying a better display port cable. I have the current driver GPU installed and Windows 11 is up to date. Everything seems fine now.
Games continuously crashed and I thought it was my new aoc 165hz monitor. I was depressed for weeks. Removing adrenaline was fix for all my problems. I never had a crash since. Thank you.
I like the software but I do see a possible issue it can cause, being so feature rich. What's worse is they never allow the option to not install with it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I was struggling with my radeon RX 570 and my old monitor CRT acerview 34 e every time i installed a radeon driver i was unable to make it work, thanks to this now i am able to see actually typing this comment on new drivers installed seriously humankind needs more people like you. THANKS! btw if you are reading this comment and you find unable to make old CRT monitors work just install drivers this way in this might be the solution for you too. Blessings.
Thank you thank you thank you man. Dude on 9gag told me to install it clean and thank to both of you I can finaly play Dark Souls 3 on stable 60 fps without tearing.
are you using the most actual drivers or older ones? i have an rx570 8b and with older drivers runs better, still crashing a lot but less, im using the 20.11.2 version drivers
I am not sure if this was mentioned but this is a fantastic fix for the 5700 Xt, But without adrenaline there is no way to control the fans and the card will get hot you but use MSI after burner to to make sure your driver is correct and set to fan profiles. Thank you again this fixed problems I was dealing with for over a year
There is a option under advance options to select install “driver only” idk if it was there for you when this video was created. But it’s there as of today when I was following this guide. I had to do driver only install because the software was causing issues with ryzen master for me
Thanks man. I was catching Hell trying to get control of my resolution after installing the full AMD software suite. I can't for the life of me understand why they would have made it lock my resolution.
Excellent video man,i hate downloading the whole adrenaline because it interferes with my MSI afterburner and just wasn't sure how to go about it,thank you much, i'm gonna save your video for future trouble shooting and you earned a subscribe.
when i try to update the driver and put in the file path and click next it tells me the best drivers for your device are already installed but its not, it’s still the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, what do i need to do?
My laptop is very old, and to try and use Vulkan shaders, I had downloaded an upgrade/update Adrenalin Drivers for AMD. It ended up making my laptop's interface stutter every 5-8 seconds, and was super bad. I uninstalled it with DDU, but for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to install AMD Catalyst 15.7.1 Radeon R5 - I would install, but their Installation Wizard wouldn't seem to properly install it. Following your instructions, I extracted the Catalyst files then told Windows via Device Manager to update the basic drivers - and it finally worked! (Will check for stuttering later, fingers crossed it's fully fixed) Thank you so much! Edit: The Vulkan thing doesn't appear to be compatible due to how old my laptop is sadly, but I'm thankful I could re-install a GPU Driver that works with my laptop, as I was struggling to figure out how to make it work elsewise. Cheers!
I think the new AMD software was causing my system to crash. I never would have thought of this myself! Thanks for posting this video! (And wish me luck that my system stops crashing)
This is really a good tutorial, I've been looking for some time how to update the AMD drivers correct. Mostly I got an error, fucking up my drivers completly. This is the one!!!!
My HDD died and so I had to use an old version of windows that was incompatible with amd adrenalin and this video helped me get the drivers anyway and now I can finally see my screen!!!!
GPU broke this year RIP and i had problem with a display issue even on bios with a clean wipe of former drivers and this helped me installing updated drivers without me trying to remove Adrenaline, i have no idea why i keep losing my display so thank you
When I go to browse for drivers on my PC after pressing cancel, I paste the address in to find the driver but it says the latest drivers are already installed even though I 100% uninstalled all of them including the radeon software, can anyone help?
For such situation you can try the a) use DDU www.wagnardsoft.com/display-driver-uninstaller-ddu- OR b) use AMD Cleanup Utility www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/gpu-601 After doing both of the above, try to install again.
Yes, but I think that's a good thing. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. You said it works like a charm, so did this help reduce or fix the problem you're facing? Would be great to know.
@@goldfries I did not have any issue with drivers above 18.X I think. I have a r9 280x (7970), sometimes by having a newer driver you get better performance and stability. I never liked AMD's bloatware though since i need none of the features. It is a shame that sometimes a driver can do as much as brick a graphics card...
thanks for this helpfull video. I've throw out the Radeon Software and installed the pure driver, system runs much smoother without lag as it does with the radeon sw.
They now include a driver only listing that doesn’t even work. I selected the option for just the driver only and it still installed the software. But thank you this video helped.
For me, when i chose driver only, it only install driver only, have you use ddu to clean uninstall your display driver before reinstalling the amd driver?
Spent almost 3 hours now trying to install the AMD driver. Errors alternate back and forth between 192 error (OS error) and 1603 (general error). Used AMD cleanup utility and DDU. Restarted in Safe Mode. Cleaned up again. One version I get drivers aren't signed error. Then with new version 20.4.2 I get "can't find .inf" file. Reason I upgraded from version 19.9.2 was due to system shutdown when light gaming (750 Watt Antec PS, BTW). Ran SFC and all files are good. Couldn't get DISM to work. Now I can't install the old or the newest version. AMD software is the biggest POS on the planet. Edit - Tried with your method and now got "access is denied" error. Going to try rebooting into safe mode and see if that helps. Got it to work with your help. Thanks dude! :) Can't control fans or overclock with this method. Also, this is hit or miss. I tried to update the driver from standard VGA to radeon and it says the most up to date driver is installed.
my current issue is when i play any game always pop up notification said your driver is timeout amd drivers bug tool so can i apply your tutorial to solve mine?

Thanks i learned something new also it helped when all i wanted was the drivers hopefully my games dont crash and that this fixes my issue. I also learned more shortcuts. Thank you
Hello, when I installed amd's software, I had a problem with the games. When I installed the driver manually, it increased by 20-30 fps, it really noticed. Thank You Bro. The software is a really problematic program
i am going to try this! i hope to God it works because my AMD is crashing CONSTANTLY my whole computer screen rn, and short of a clean Windows re-install this is MY last option!
Not that I know of, and that's why I had it installed on my work rig. For some reason my screen and AMD driver will auto default to YBCr and the screen turns pink. I had to install Adrenaline software to set it to RGB.
You can't, so ideally you should have Adrenaline installed BUT not everyone needs it, and also as you can see it causes a lot of problems. In a nutshell, you need not go through these steps if all things are working fine.
I have Dual gpu on my laptop, the AMD and the Intel. For some reason, AMD driver crashed my windows 10 and i had to delete it through safe mode and now i have intel only. I cant fillow your video as i dont see the Microsoft basic display adapter, i only see the intel and when i uninstall it , it automatically re install again
This didn’t work for me at first. It was because I had the game mode windows setting turned off. I turned this back on and restarted my pc and everything was great!!!! Thank you so much for this video you are a god!

neat technique but when I try this or the direct method to install graphics driver for my rx5500xt, my screenstarts flickering and does not proceed any further.
sheesh! missed the cancel option for adrenalin which has been crashing new system and causing corruption of the drive. Fingers crossed. have been running chrome, doing everything on my phone for years, which is fairly ridiculous. Took the plunge and bought a windows mini, excited, and then remembered all the time spent/wasted monitoring the operation, reading thread after thread. Currently 10 vids queued, rather than just using. AMD really ought to fix this. Seems utterly Lax of them to not be clear about driver-only option. thank you, thank you.
so question if i install with the adrenaline one i get R7 m340 correct ? but if i do it like yours i would get the same driver as i installed plz plz reply its been 3 days and i've got no clue on how to fix it
Thanks for this, brand new computer and the installer for amd adrenaline 2020 just continuously fails, despite having followed every solution I could find. At least now I can finally use my 5700 :)
Hey, so how’s it working so far? Got also issues with the 5700. i often get green screen crashes and my computer restarts. Dunno what causes, so I just tried this method. So am wondering how it will turn out 😅 but did you have any troubles so far?
@@Osmose_42 To be honest I had restart issues (didn't have the green screen crashes though) but updating to the newest driver has remedied the issue for me. The system has been solid for a good couple of weeks now. Hope you remedy your issue, I know how frustrating it can be, AMD do really need to get their crap together with driver software.

Hi can you please tell me if it is really necessary to install adrenaline?? Does it improve anything? My asus tuf fx505dy came without adrenaline but all the drivers were already installed and it runs amazing, when i installed adrenaline need for speed heat stopped working it was not recognized by adrenaline now i uninstalled adrenaline everything is working great. What do you say
AMD's Adrenalin Software is mostly bloatware, the only thing that should've been included in it are the Tuning(for under/overclocking) and the graphs. Everything else I've seen is basically ads for AMD's other hardware and a built in browser and streaming? The vast majority of users don't need any of that.
i have problems installing my driver of AMD 3400G (i was upgrading my 200ge to 3400g). it is asrock a320m hdv r 4.0, V Gen 8gb 3200mhz (sk hynix), 400 watt power supply. I keep getting black screen when AMD Driver Adapter installation about 60% progress, it asked me for restart your device (AMD Crash Defender) and immediately flashy red then black screen, wait for 10 minutes nothing comes up. For now, my current solution is AMD Cleanup Utility through Windows Safe Mode but still having the same problem over and over with different versions. Is your solution would fix my problem? So what is your current Display Adapter is it still the default "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" ?

Hello, when I installed amd's software, I had a problem with the games. When I installed the driver manually, it increased by 20-30 fps, it really noticed. Thank You Bro. The software is a really problematic program
bro help me once i downloaded the driver the AMD setting is missing at the right click.
Because that's the software you didn't install, you don;t istall the software, amd settings won't be there for right click.
@@jamoblair7245 if I do install the software, the setting will be there? At right click
Thank you so much this helped me a lot and i appreciate content like this that can really help a person in need.
Im definitely subscribing
I know this video is old but you can now choose drives only
Ily youtube almost buried your comment with auto sorting 🤣
How do you get the download tab throughout the WHOLE video called: win10-radeaon-software-adrenalin-2020-edition-20.1.4-jan27?
Sorry, I don't understand this question.
You are the best man! You earned a sub!
I can`t even explain how much you just helped me tyyy
And what should i do when i have Intel HD 4000 installed and no Microsoft Basic Display Driver?
Thank, 100% work. So this amd radeon graphics 'replace' microsoft basic display adapter?
Yes, you shouldn't use MS Basic Display Adapter anyway.
i
am going to try this! i hope to God it works because my AMD is crashing CONSTANTLY my whole computer screen rn, and short of a clean Windows re-install this is MY last option!
@Jose thanks for spoiling me
Thanks for the video but i have a question: does is it possibile to change pixel format from YBCr to Full RGB without Adrenaline software? :-(
Not that I know of, and that's why I had it installed on my work rig.
For some reason my screen and AMD driver will auto default to YBCr and the screen turns pink. I had to install Adrenaline software to set it to RGB.
"I have the best drivers installed", how do I change this?
did you find out? i need to know?
Yeah you have to uninstall them first using ddu or amd cleanup utility
Oh my god I was about to return 5700 XT because of "Hardware Failure" but this thing fixed it. Thank you!
Were you getting constant crashes?
@@easymac9100 This actually didn't fix anything. I still get crashes after less than 10 mins playing the game. I will be returning this card.
How can you adjust per-game settings, AMD freesync settings, screen colour settings etc. if you don't install the radeon software?
You can't, so ideally you should have Adrenaline installed BUT not everyone needs it, and also as you can see it causes a lot of problems.
In a nutshell, you need not go through these steps if all things are working fine.
I have Dual gpu on my laptop, the AMD and the Intel. For some reason, AMD driver crashed my windows 10 and i had to delete it through safe mode and now i have intel only. I cant fillow your video as i dont see the Microsoft basic display adapter, i only see the intel and when i uninstall it , it automatically re install again
same dude
@goldfries can u help us?
ok and how do you disable vsync if you dont have the adrenaline?
got a solution for that? I've installed driver only but wanna turn off vsync
Thank you!!!! It simply amazes me that AMD can be so lacking with this! You saved the day!
how do i fix after the radeon software extraction nothing opens
This didn’t work for me at first. It was because I had the game mode windows setting turned off. I turned this back on and restarted my pc and everything was great!!!! Thank you so much for this video you are a god!
@goldfries does this work with a windows 11 laptop, because im tired of using more than 70% of my cpu when gaming or when im not doing anything 30-10% of my F*CKING CPU
so i came across this and wondered if i can actually download better processers manually and install it directly to my mother board
so is there anyway to upgrade from a AMD ryzen 7520U to a amd ryzen 5600x something blah blah blah?
😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
I Have Amd R5 M330 And I Can Upgrade It To M430 But After Formatting My Laptop When I Go To Upgrade The Driver It Shows The Best Driver Is Already Installed. And When It Does Update It Doesn't Show You Have Upgraded To M430 But It Shows you Have Upgraded To M330 Plz Help Me
This was such an issue to get working. Thank you.
I'm pretty sure this would only work for AMD RX GPU and this wouldn't work on AMD HD GPU
Your a legend thanks so much for this vid my AMD Hardware encounter disappeared from OBS and I couldn’t find how to get it back so I made a thread in OBS and then said update your drivers I had 2016 AMD drivers lmao and we in 2020 I weren’t tryna have that AMD app running in the background clogging up my CPU so thanks👍
You're welcome. My apologies for the late reply, hope your machine is serving you well.
7900xtx here....uninstalled Adrenaline and its like new life for the card. Crashes reduced a ton
Glad to hear that! This is what I've been telling so many people and yet they (AMD fanboys) refuse to believe.
Hey man, great vid even in 2023! Is there anyway to enable freesync premium without the Adrenaline software? Or to know if it is enabled. Thanks!
Can I do this for the catalyst by copying to the Microsoft display centre as well?
neat technique but when I try this or the direct method to install graphics driver for my rx5500xt, my screenstarts flickering and does not proceed any further.
Bro you are so awesome, you saved many people lives so thx.....
AWESOME BRO
Glad to hear that!
It actually doing some benefits doing this way?
I talk at benchmark with 3d mark before and after
Missed this question, might gain you some score by hogging less resources?
Thanks for this guide, I was able to install drivers on Windows Server 2022👌🏾
sheesh! missed the cancel option for adrenalin which has been crashing new system and causing corruption of the drive. Fingers crossed. have been running chrome, doing everything on my phone for years, which is fairly ridiculous. Took the plunge and bought a windows mini, excited, and then remembered all the time spent/wasted monitoring the operation, reading thread after thread. Currently 10 vids queued, rather than just using. AMD really ought to fix this. Seems utterly Lax of them to not be clear about driver-only option. thank you, thank you.
so question if i install with the adrenaline one i get R7 m340 correct ? but if i do it like yours i would get the same driver as i installed plz plz reply its been 3 days and i've got no clue on how to fix it
there is a driver only option now does that count?
Thanks for this, brand new computer and the installer for amd adrenaline 2020 just continuously fails, despite having followed every solution I could find. At least now I can finally use my 5700 :)
Glad to hear that, I hope other revisions of Adrenaline could work for you but in the mean time, if this works fine then it's all good.
Hey, so how’s it working so far? Got also issues with the 5700. i often get green screen crashes and my computer restarts. Dunno what causes, so I just tried this method. So am wondering how it will turn out 😅 but did you have any troubles so far?
@@Osmose_42 To be honest I had restart issues (didn't have the green screen crashes though) but updating to the newest driver has remedied the issue for me. The system has been solid for a good couple of weeks now. Hope you remedy your issue, I know how frustrating it can be, AMD do really need to get their crap together with driver software.
@@Azurantine81 hi , how do u update drivers after this ? I am getting driver time-out errors i think this may help , but my question is how to update , does it automatically update ? I know that latest update has fixed the issue but i really dont want the Radeon software
Thank you man you solved what 100 can't
Hi can you please tell me if it is really necessary to install adrenaline?? Does it improve anything? My asus tuf fx505dy came without adrenaline but all the drivers were already installed and it runs amazing, when i installed adrenaline need for speed heat stopped working it was not recognized by adrenaline now i uninstalled adrenaline everything is working great. What do you say
AMD's Adrenalin Software is mostly bloatware, the only thing that should've been included in it are the Tuning(for under/overclocking) and the graphs. Everything else I've seen is basically ads for AMD's other hardware and a built in browser and streaming? The vast majority of users don't need any of that.
i have problems installing my driver of AMD 3400G (i was upgrading my 200ge to 3400g). it is asrock a320m hdv r 4.0, V Gen 8gb 3200mhz (sk hynix), 400 watt power supply. I keep getting black screen when AMD Driver Adapter installation about 60% progress, it asked me for restart your device (AMD Crash Defender) and immediately flashy red then black screen, wait for 10 minutes nothing comes up. For now, my current solution is AMD Cleanup Utility through Windows Safe Mode but still having the same problem over and over with different versions. Is your solution would fix my problem? So what is your current Display Adapter is it still the default "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" ?
Didn't realise you can do this, will try this after I fixed my BSOD due to my AMD driver weirdoing out!
Thanks
I am also facing bsod after restart
@@sadmansakif6971 did you fix the issue? I'm still suffering from it?
I have to do this everytime I want to update the drivers?
I am assuming Yes, since you can't get the driver file on its own.
@@Cranky-Panda that's really a pain in the ass. AMD software it's not that bad anyways
Men i need to say thank youuu, you saved my graphics card, before this i had 100% gpu usage in youtube playing at 2k now its only 2%
POGGERS
Noe maybe hoy ante using The cpu xD
