WU's keep failing after windows/AMD driver update
Posted: Mon Oct 20, 2025 8:40 pm
Everything was working fine until a windows update a few weeks ago. after that, my GPU (AMD Radeon 6700 XT. driver version is Adrenalin 25.9.1) stopped folding. a WU will pop up, and the bar will fill up red and drain over and over again until it fails, and no matter what I do nothing helps. i tried reinstalling my AMD drivers, and it fixed it at first, but something else must've happened because the issue started all over again. now when i try reinstalling the drivers, it doesn't do anything. i've un/reinstalled F@H, too. once WU's keep failing, if i close F@H it won't open again; i'll have to reinstall it to get it to.
I used to be very computer literate, but I'm not anymore, so if you have any suggestions please give me advice as if i were a child lol. i did try using GPT to troubleshoot, which is how i knew to mess with the drivers, but i don't trust its more invasive suggestions--i'd rather a human give me advice just in case i mess something up. i have my late brother's PC, and i'd be devastated if i ruined it. it's one of the only things i have of his that means anything to me.
thanks in advance for any suggestions!
