When I install the latest driver software for my RX 6700 XT (11/11/2021) on the latest version of Windows 10, the screen appears to flicker like normal, but when it comes back on, all the shortcut icons are gone and the only thing visible on the screen is the taskbar and the background, and nothing happens when I click any of the icons on the taskbar, including the one for the one for the installation software. I can, however, access the Start menu, which I use to restart the system. When I do that, I am treated to a black screen and am forced to boot into safe mode and run DDU. After that, my pc works fine, but I, of course, cannot play games optimally. I also have Windows set not to automatically install drivers, but this does not seem to prevent Microsoft Basic Display Adapter from installing. Is this a hardware failure or is AMD's software unusable? All help or suggestions are appreciated.
