Hello normal users and maybe devs,
Its 2022 and this issue still exists, and i have no idea why:
Using windows freshly installed less then a month ago with full wipe, the reason why its freshly installed is because the famous bug that makes the Radeon software to not launch gave me to many problems.
As of now after a fresh build of windows with all updates to date Radeon software decided not to start again, because why not.....after windows or something decided to update something in the back that made the os boot to the welcome screen setup. After that no display driver was found, so the logical solution was to reinstall the same driver or newer ones. No luck in getting Radeon Software to open.
Things that i have tried were:
- Try different driver versions with a complete DDU in safemode between each try; - No luck with every version up until 21.9.xx;
- The roll back solution; - No luck since there was no previous driver and also after DDU no previous drivers remain;
- Registry solution changing the CN-display version to 0 or match the one reported in device manager; -No luck
- Delete the AppData local CN file solution found online; - No luck;
- Registry clean and then DDU and then recent driver install; - No luck;
Current state is that all drivers install successfully, none of them open up Radeon software.
Why is this important? Let me explain:
Since the fresh install of windows i have installed my printer and an architectural software called Archicad. Everything worked flawless until the bug happened again. The software i use requires some shortcuts that are key to the workflow, that happen to be most of the ones enabled by default in Radeon ReLive something, that can be disabled "IF YOU CAN GET THE APP OPENED". For a week now i'm working like this, can't copy, mirror, move or rotate elements using shortcuts and have to go to edit actions (move, copy, rotate, mirror etc.), you can imagine the awsome workflow i'm having.
I don't mine, game or run hacks on my macchine and my RX580 is older but perfect for my use, also this bug happens even on newer hardware, and what bothers me is that the only ones looking into this issue is this wonderful community and other users on other forums platforms etc. What bothers me even more is that there is no real solution given by AMD other then useless tickets and reinstall using DDU only to have the bug happen again and again for me and other users.
THIS BUG IS YEARS OLD AND IS NOT BEING MANAGED OFFICIALY,
I REFUSE TO THINK THAT A COMPANY ISSUING FSR 2.0 ULTRA UPSCALE TECH, CLUSTER CPU-S AND ENHANCED SYNC AND MANY MORE TECH, BUT FAIL TO CREATE AN APP THAT OPENS!!
While i am sure many users will try to offer some solutions as this community is known for, its absurd that this is left to the users and no officials are actively looking into this stupid, retarded bug.
I cannot reinstall windows montly and try every driver version in hope one works everytime windows or radeon software decides to update something in the background.
