This feels like a comment from 1997. Aside from occasionally updating video drivers for a new video game, I can’t remember the last time I had to maintain–much less fix–a driver.
Oh! Apparently I’m in 1997, then. Remarkable that they have Windows 11, then. I have a machine where the Microsoft provided drivers cause screen blanking when hardware accelerated video plays. Installing the AMD drivers fixes that, but I’ve yet to figure out what the magic sauce is to prevent Windows Update from overwriting part of the drivers that Adrenalin installs. One boot after installing and the machine works great, then the next boot it’ll just be a black screen of death. At least AMD’s installer helpfully makes a restore point.
My fav is when shit doesn’t work and Windows is like “would you like me to help you?”. Sure, go ahead, I’ve got nothing better to do. Maybe I’ll buy a lottery ticket. Chances are better I’ll win the jackpot.
The person who made this has never had to deal with Windows driver issues obviously
