Please, add option to turn on and off AMD software from right click context menu. The context menu hides the half of screen for this and the it looks messed up. Seriously need this option

[calini]

+1, there needs to be the option to remove that context menu entry, it is really annoying

You can use freeware CCleaner to delete or disable any Context Menu options:

Plus there are many 3rd Party programs that you can utilize to do it easier and faster: https://www.techspot.com/guides/1670-windows-right-click-menu/

You can do it through Windows Registry:

Accomplishing Some of That From the Windows Registry

You can also add and remove items from context menus from the Windows Registry, though it isn't as easy or reliable as using one of the recommended tools.

To get started, launch the Windows Registry Editor by hitting Windows key + R and entering regedit.

• Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell and Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex to find many application context menu entries and delete the ones you no longer want.

Note: We recommend making a backup of your registry before you begin (File > Export > Save the file). Click Import instead to restore the saved file

This is how it looks like in my Windows 11 Registry. Very similar to the above:

I have deleted the ACE from here, but the context menu hasn't gone yet

[goodplay]

You can do it from 'Autoruns', quick find > amd > uncheck ACE.

[msajid]

did yet but the context menu hasn't removed

add {FDADFEE3-02D1-4E7C-A511-380F4C98D73B} to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Blocked

and reboot

works on version 22.11.2 for me

**bleep** mann! you are the guy I was looking for, unlike other guys who haven't actually tested it himself which they are talking about. you saved me. it really worked, I didn't even reboot

How delete or modify the block folder

[msajid]

you can just right click on it then delete or modify it.

[EgorFed]

There was no "Blocked" folder, so I created one. Didn't work though.

[msajid]

I also didn't have the block folder but in my case it worked for me after creating this folder

[vanon]

This is awesome. Super helpful. Works instantly. No need for this context menu on all right clicks, especially when combined with tray icon.  (Only thing better would be a quick and easy toggle in settings for AMD Software.)

Thank you. Looks like good old Microsoft forcing old drivers returns.

Searched by this GUID in registry and it seems like this specific one {FDADFEE3-02D1-4E7C-A511-380F4C98D73B} relates to AdvancedMicroDevicesInc-RSXCM_22.10.0.0_x64__fhmx3h6dzfmvj, which was in batch with other GUID that links to some crap Microsoft installs on you (like Teams, XBOX overlay, Paint, etc.).

Disabling it does not remove context handler, which, by looks of this reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/10japim/comment/j83qpcq/), is on different GUID right now (aka {6767B3BC-8FF7-11EC-B909-0242AC120002})),  but stuff becomes fast again.

This is such a hacky solution. But hey, it works. Thanks.

For those who don't have the "Blocked" folder/key yet. Right click "Shell Extensions" and select: New » Key (first option). Open up the new key and right click inside, select: New » String Value (second option). Then paste:

{FDADFEE3-02D1-4E7C-A511-380F4C98D73B}

In my opinion end users should never have to go into the registry to solve stuff. If this is the case you should be ashamed as application developer/publisher. Why is this even in the context menu to start with? Rarely does an application need a context menu button. This degrades the user experience just like the old Internet Explorer toolbars did back in 2000s. AMD should just make this a setting and either let the user choose on install, or have it off by default.
