PC Drivers & Software

EDIT: Nevermind. It crashed again.

In my last Post (https://community.amd.com/t5/drivers-software/22-10-2-black-screens-and-driver-timeouts/m-p/552213#M...) i talked about having random black screens and driver timeouts which the recent drivers claimed to fix but didn't.

After disabling Multi-Plane Overlay (MPO) in windows all the crashes and driver timeouts are finally gone!

What i noticed is that in my case i only had the issues when using multiple monitors with mixed (high and low) refresh rates.

Watching a video in Google Chrome or moving a window from the high refresh rate screen to the low refresh rate one gave me heavy sutters.

But for now - it's all gone.

Users on Reddit also mention positive results:

I don't have any serious issues, but I am curious as to why MPO is even a thing since I can't see the difference between my experience with it on and without it enabled.

Disabling Multi-Plane Overlayis is a temporary solution and is not better.

Disabling MPO may cause associated features not to work.

I will sometimes get the flickering task bar at random bootups. If I reboot it usually goes away, will disabling MPO fix that or cause other issues because nothing else seems wrong with my display, granted it's just a 60hz Benq screen.
