Drivers & Software

The AMD Clean Uninstall Utility will attempt to remove any previously installed AMD Catalyst™ display and audio drivers, and cleans up left-over files and registry entries from the system.  This helps to prepare the system for a better driver installation experience.

NOTE: The AMD Clean Uninstall Utility should only be used if the normal uninstallation procedure using the Windows Control Panel's Programs and Features option is unsuccessful.

NOTE: All previous versions of AMD display and audio drivers as well as AMD software components will be removed by the AMD Clean Uninstall Utility.  This utility removes the enumerations created under the display and audio registry keys resulting from multiple graphics cards.​

This tool has completely bricked my system. I was not able to access some settings in catalyst control so I used this tool planning to get a clean install. Instead now my screen starts up completely green and I can't click or access anything.

Yes, this is my problem as well.  Once the AMD drivers are gone, I get a black screen at boot and can do nothing.  I wish there was a core set of drivers that would load the card with some basic settings so it would function without full drivers - like, if the cards could be operative with the native windows driver at a very minimal level.

If I remember correctly this does not work properly with Crimson and newer driver packages, and should be taken down. Display Driver Uninstaller works correctly.

I hope AMD updates this tool.
