AMD Watch posted an update
AMD says a bug in its Radeon driver utility can cause continuous writes to a Windows PC’s system drive, even when the machine is idle. The company expects to fix it in Adrenalin 26.11.1, due before the end of November, TechSpot reports.
Why it mattersAMD attributes the issue to an interaction between its External Events Utility and Microsoft’s PCIe filter driver. The utility also handles display features, so disabling it as a workaround may affect some functions. Better to wait for the promised fix than reach for the off switch on a hunch.
Discuss: If you were affected, would you disable the utility and risk losing display features, or keep using the PC until AMD ships its fix?
