Drivers & Software

[Scruffymonkey]

The latest Adrenalin software seems to cause the software to open randomly.  Seems to happen most after the PC comes out of sleep.  Not sure if anyone else is having the issue.

[stacmon]

Yes I got the same issue here with 24.8.1. This is a bit annoying..

[backFireX64]

I have the exact same issue. Opens at random and when resuming monitor from sleep.

Already sent a bug report to AMD.

[porthos924]

I confirm. Every single time my monitor comes back from sleep the Adrenaline software is open by itself. Im back to 7.1 since i dont really need to be on 8.1

[Jeff6]

Yes, I have this issue come out of sleep and Adrenalin software is open. I have reported it to AMD.

And now we wait for the fix slotted for 24.9.3 lol.

[FunkZ]

Same happening here, Windows 10 22H2, Adrenalin is open when screen resumes from sleep.

24.8.1 fixed the ZeroRPM/Idle Power Draw issue with 24.7.1 but now this... sigh

[Qoojo]

+1 and I just sleep monitor, not pc. win 11 22h2 7900xtx

[jra1511]

Me too. I agree with everyone here.

[noir_]

I thought it was caused by my laptop. Looking forward to AFMF 2.

[MachinaSpiritus]

Also the same issue! In my case whenever the screensaver shut downs my monitor and after disengaging when I want to use my PC again the Adrenalin software just pop's up. Previous version of the driver did not have this annoying issue. 

[cyberwaste]

I have the same issue. The software opens whenever my PC wakes from sleep.

[JeeperDon]

Same issue here, Adrenalin 24.8.1, opens after wake from Windows sleep.

[MarkRMonaco]

I have the same issue on Adrenalin 24.8.1 and Windows 11 Pro 23H2.  It happens after I wake my monitor after being idle and unlock my PC (sleep & hibernate are disabled for the computer).  Once I return to the Desktop, the application will randomly open in the background.

I've also submitted a bug report for this.

[jo3yization]

Yep same issue on Win 11 24H2. Specific to 24.8.1.

[bambukavak]

same!

[Raider0001]

same issue rx 7900 xtx - amd opens when screen is back on 

[Triplexbee]

Yep same here. Actually waking my system from sleep. Cool.

[hamburgerghini]

Same thing here...

[MagicAl6244225]

Same.

[itzko82]

As a workaround i found out if you disable system tray menu in preferences Adrenalin software no longer opens randomly

[Raider0001]

this driver is borked, I would suggest to DDU and get 24.7.1

who knows what else is broken 

[eviola]

This did not work for me. Still having it pop up after PC wakes up.

[Phosphorus]

This doesn´t work.  It still opens every time my PC wakes up.

[arielvtpma]

I have disabled sys tray and still opens randomly...

[Qoojo]

Same issue. Even saw it mentioned on reddit. For some reason my first reply never showed.

This bug exposes how poorly these drivers are tested. It literally took one monitor sleep to detect this. Not one QA person or automated test for this.

[Craptacular]

No, it doesn't expose how poorly these drivers are tested.  If you look at the "Known Issues" section of the driver release notes you would have seen this:

• AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition may unexpectedly initiate upon system wake from sleep mode. [Resolution targeted for 24.9.2]

The reason why AMD released the driver with such a bug is because it is a low priority bug, it doesn't cause system instability or application instability, and it doesn't pop-up mid game and take up any screen real estate or any other application for that matter except for your when you resume system from sleep.

[Qoojo]

They added that after the driver release. I looked in the known issues before posting that. You can verify that the page was updated many ways, but the easiest way is to simply look at the drivers post for 24.8.1 in this forum and see that it is not listed at the time they did the copy-n-paste.

[irfancolak]

I have the same issue. Every time my monitor comes back from sleep the Adrenaline software is open.
Adrenalin 24.8.1
Windows 11 Pro, 23H2

[PeteMul]

Same here.

[rayovibe]

Yes! It is. Thank God that it is not just me.

The app window automatically opens when I unlock my laptop.

This is very strange and scary (I thought maybe my keyboard is malfunctioning, LOL).

[El_Raberto]

I suppose it is a minor bug in the grand scheme of things but its annoying none the less. DDU and back to 24.7.1 for me.

[SBeaudet]

Same issue here.

[docbones]

I am having the exact same issue.  No matter what I do it keeps re-opening.  I have turned off all keyboard short cuts that I can find, so dont think that is the cause.

[zila1]

Yup, I sent a bug report on this issue too. Every time I start up the computer AMD Adrenalin is open. Kind of annoying.

[noughtnaut]

"WHQL Recommended" driver. What a joke.

[abysal]

Same issue, thought I was going nuts and leaving it open or something.

[Laucian_Nailor]

Add me to the the list with the same behaviour - always opens on wake (Win 11 latest release build) - 7900XTX card.

Hopefully this has at least 'crossed someone's desk' by now to investigate

[nebula8bit]

Yes, only after sleep. Thanks, started doubting myself

[SonnyCrocktt]

Same problem here GPU MSI Radeon RX6700XT Mech 2X 12G OC
