Perekhod s Windows Xnumx on Windows 11 Fixes AMD Adrenalin Driver Issues

Owners of Radeon video cards are experiencing software challenges on Windows 10, including screen flickering, video game crashes, and system reboots. Attempts to resolve these issues through clean installations of AMD drivers have often been unsuccessful, particularly for users of high-end models like the Radeon RX 7900 XT. Some community members recommend transitioning to Windows 11, which reportedly offers better stability and performance with AMD drivers, though concerns exist about potential performance declines on older CPUs and the costs of upgrading RAM. For users wishing to stay on Windows 10, experts suggest disabling fast startup, disconnecting from the internet, booting in safe mode, using the DDU utility to uninstall old drivers, and then reinstalling the driver package while disabling core isolation in security settings.

AMD Driver Bug Silently Disables Smart Access Memory On Windows 10, Tanking Gaming Performance And Triggering Crashes

Recent reports indicate that AMD's driver is disabling Smart Access Memory (SAM) on Windows 10 systems, resulting in reduced gaming performance. Users have experienced issues such as game crashes and improper recognition of Radeon graphics cards. Many have uninstalled the AMD driver using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) and performed a clean installation, but SAM remains disabled in the Adrenalin software despite BIOS settings being unchanged. Notifications from Windows 10 suggest a conflict between the AMD driver and the operating system. AMD is investigating the issue and has released a preview driver version 26.6.3 to address compatibility problems for RX 7000 series GPUs. Temporary workarounds have been suggested by users, including checking monitor refresh rates and rebooting systems.

Minecraft 26.2 Snapshot 3

In version 26.2, a new feature called sulfur spikes has been introduced, which generates naturally in sulfur caves. These spikes can form stalactites when placed on the ceiling and stalagmites when on the floor. They can be combined to create longer formations and will merge if placed adjacent without pressing the shift key. Stalagmites will break if not anchored, and stalactites will fall if unsupported. Thrown tridents can break sulfur spikes. The Potent Sulfur block can no longer be crafted back into sulfur blocks, and several block textures have been updated. The Sulfur Cube can no longer be picked up by boats. Sound effects for Nautilus jets and recoveries have been updated. The Data Pack version is now 102.0, and the Resource Pack version is 86.0. The minecraft:bed block entity has been removed, and entity predicates have been restructured for simplification. New block textures for sulfur spikes have been added. Several bugs have been fixed, including issues with axolotls, emissive textures, client crashes, and leads disappearing from sulfur cubes.
