Newer Radeon Drivers for RX 6600 Crashing Windows Explorer

Hi, I have an RX 6600 and it seems that newer drivers (I've so far tested the current release 22.3.1 and previous one 22.2.3) are causing Windows 10 Explorer to basically crash after being idle for a while (overnight or even after a couple hours) where the start button won't respond and application windows are all over the place, system tray icons are missing, etc.  I've tested on an older driver release (21.10.2) and it doesn't have this issue.  Anyone else seeing this or have any thoughts?  Thanks.

Have you run windows SFC & DISM commands to check for/repair corrupt OS files ?

I ran SFC and DISM and nothing came back as corrupted.  I rolled the driver back to an earlier release and overnight the same issue occurred.

If it is an amd driver issue a rollback is a waste of time. You need to try a full manual download/clean install to remove any corrupt driver files.

Leaving the pc running overnight ?, you might want to check if windows has installed updates that need a restart ?
