Drivers & Software

[Anonymous]

I've just created an account on this website just to thank you. I have tried many things in the past two days, from reinstalling drivers, going to regedit and changing values on the Gpu driver - nothing worked. But your recommendation of using the Cleanup Utitlty (which i didn't knew existed) gave me back my beloved AMD Radeon settings (and Alt + R combination). Thanks.

Glad I have several previous setup drivers so maybe I can try this amd cleanup utility.

If anyone wants a quick fix without reinstalling the drivers, I found one! Go into your AppData/Local/AMD/CN and delete your gmdb.blb, then restart the program or relog/restart your PC to have your Radeon Settings launching again.

It might possible due to the version of AMD Radeon Settings and the version of the driver may be mismatched. You can fix it using Registry Editor.

THIS GUY'S TIP WORKS.
Delete the File and restart the computer. Radeon software will open.

Please report your finding to AMD as this can help them know exactly what component has the conflict in Windows to write a fix.

All of you with this issue report it, and what fixed it if you did, Contact AMD here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/contact-email-form

To the OP if this users fix, fixed your issue mark his fix as a solution. 

I will mention an AMD mod as this should really get passed to engineering and hopefully he can do that. @amdmatt

Thank you for the kind words, everyone.

@pokesterCould the AMD Bug Report Tool be better to use?

[pokester]

You can submit it to both. The difference being that the bug report is a one way report. They don't converse with you. So I like the other as they can contact you with questions or if you have specific questions that need answers. By all means do which one fits your needs or both.
