PC Drivers & Software

[Serrafit]

Hi everyone, I have concerns about updating my AMD drivers and program. My laptop have automatically installed "AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition" which is frequently informing me about available update, but then in the program I can nowhere find anything related with update, only current versions info. It was like that from the very beginning when I purchased laptop in September 2023.

Laptop have AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS with Radeon Graphics, and Nvidia discrete graphics. Installed AMD drivers are dated 11th April 2023, and source of concern is that on official laptop site presented the same one driver (other drivers on the page are significantly newer so the page is updating), yet I still receive notifications about available update.

So the main point is: do I need to try to update drivers manually or I should ignore notification as the laptop is designed to work with that exact driver.

Ask additional questions as I new for forums and totally can lost something important.

Thanks in advance!

Since you have nVidia discrete graphics and the laptop manufacturer Radeon graphics may have customizations such as screen brightness control you may not want to update the Adrenalin software.

If you feel you need to update you can download the latest version of Adrenalin and install over your existing version.

If you are bothered about Adrenalin frequently informing you about available updates and want to disable those, open the Settings (gear icon) in the top right and then turn off Check for Updates.

Hello, it's me again...

Actually the settings menu doesn't have that "Check for Updates" option, so I will continue to bother.

What is the Adrenalin version you have installed now? You mentioned dated 11 Apr 23 so I assume it must be Adrenalin 23.4.1 or similar?

Somewhere in Settings there should be the option to turn off check for updates.

Hi. It has been 3 months since no update. I realise that I cannot record or stream in my software. Can anyone help me figured this out? How do I get updates. I am using on pc and not on laptop.

That is not the regular public release driver from AMD. August driver was 24.8.1.  

Go to https://www.amd.comen/support/download.drivers.html

Type the graphics card model in search box to find new driver.
