I created this account to share this information with my fellow AMD gamers.
I'm running win11 21h2 insider. Ever since the latest update, around 3/30/2022, when checking for windows updates I automatically receive an "AMD Display Driver Update 30.0.21000.22018" update from Windows Update which breaks the AMD Radeon Adrenaline Software. The Radeon software no longer works meaning that every attempt to launch it or engage one of its many functions via hotkeys you get the wonderful error message that your radeon software isn't compatible with the driver you have installed.
" The Version of AMD Radeon Software You Have Launched Is Not Compatible with Your Currently Installed AMD Graphics Driver "
The solution:
Go into device manager (devmgmt.msc in cmd)
Right click your AMD Graphics Card and press Properties
Go to Driver tab and press Update Driver
Click "Browse my computer for drivers"
Click "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer"
Select a driver version that is lower than 30.0.21000.22018. In my case, I selected 30.0.1500.2.1004 from 3/9/2022.
Done! You should be able to access your Radeon software menu and all those glorious custom performance overlays that *I KNOW* we are all using. No reboot necessary! Screen may flicker a few times while the drivers and software are initializing.
AMD for life baby
