A bug that’s been irritating Windows 11 customers with AMD graphics cards (and CPUs to an extent) has been mounted within the newest replace for Microsoft’s OS – or largely mounted, anyway, going by studies.
This glitch was brought in with the Moment 4 update (it was first seen within the preview of that improve), and it messed with AMD profile settings. Each time affected customers restarted their PC, these GPU settings (and reportedly CPU settings too, in some situations, like overclocking) went again to their defaults.
The excellent news is that the Home windows 11 replace for November (which started rolling out final week) cured this situation, albeit with some caveats.
As Windows Latest studies, the bug has been squashed in accordance with its personal testing. The tech web site has additionally been speaking to a number of customers hit by the bug and the bulk stated that this new patch from Microsoft mounted issues – nevertheless, just a few noticed that their profile was nonetheless being reset.
It seems there are nonetheless minor gremlins kicking about, maybe, although it needs to be famous that for the repair to work, in addition to the November replace for Home windows 11, you additionally have to be operating AMD’s Adrenalin graphics driver model 23.10.2.
One other slight caveat, too: the November replace that resolves this situation has some vexing problems itself.
Evaluation: A thornier drawback for some?
It is a nasty bug. Having your settings reset and having to redo any customization from scratch after each single PC restart goes to get very annoying, in a short time. Particularly in case you’ve executed loads of tweaking in your AMD system.
Seeing the repair arrive is nice information, though there’s the slight catch of apparently not everybody getting the profit. Home windows Newest doesn’t make it clear if those that discovered the bug nonetheless current after the most recent Home windows 11 replace have been utilizing the talked about model of AMD’s GPU driver (v23.10.2), however presumably they have been, as the positioning would’ve certainly clarified that if not.
The tech web site means that these persevering with to be affected could also be struggling a profile reset from one other trigger apart from Home windows 11 updates.
No matter wrinkles are left within the resolution, if any, Microsoft will hopefully iron them out shortly – though the software program big hasn’t truly confirmed the presence of this repair within the new replace.
