What's wrong with 2021 drivers?

First at all here is my PC:

RX 580 8GB; I7 7700; 16GB RAM; 650PSU 80Silver.

Every 21.x.x driver causes me crashes... I've test it all of them and doesn't care if I'm playing, browsing or using Netflix, AMD Software crashes. Maybe I have not a single problem during all the day, but the next day it crashes every 2 minutes. The last stable driver it's 20.11.2 from NOVEMBER and we are on june.

Seems that it's a "normal" problem because a lot of people have this problems too. 

Do you guys find a solution? Or I just have to wait until AMD release a not buggy driver?

I have the same issue... more then that it seems like its causing blue screens on windows 10... also some applications such as Steam and Discord as well as some games just wont start after the AMD software thing crashes once... It requires a reboot to fix this issue, but more then that windows wont reboot it remains stuck in the restarting screen forever... And needs to be hard rebooted.

Anyone else experienced this?

I have a Radeon RX 580, currently running driver 21.5.2

I have seen recommendations on Reddit to remove AMD drivers and install the generic ones provided by windows update:

Is it a proper solution or will AMD fix the issue?
