What causes it
This normally happens after a system or graphics card crash. when windows reboot after a crash it will downgrade currently installed graphics driver to oldest/default driver. sometimes windows update also installs older driver if it does not recognize latest driver which already installed by Radeon adrenaline software.
Edit:
This issue started to happen to almost all AMD users after recent windows update because windows kept force installing older AMD driver in windows update. We have issued a quick fix for this, if it does not work try our long fix below.
Quick Fix
- Open Device manager by searching in start menu.
- In Device manager, find your graphics card under “Display adapters”
- Right click it and open properties
- Go to Driver tab and choose rollback driver.
- Follow the options to finish rollback.
- This will remove older Gpu version forced by windows update and enables previously installed latest driver.
Fix
- Right click start menu and select “system”
- above windows specification click “Advanced system settings”
- Go to hardware tab then open Device installation settings.
- Choose “no”.
This will only prevent windows from installing hardware manufacturers update. This will not stop normal windows updates. - Now install latest GPU software from amd.com which will fix the issue. To install GPU software follow the steps below.
- First you have to find graphic card model.
Finding graphics card model

Installing Graphics card driver

- In that page go to Drivers & Support
