AMD Releases Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.9.1 Drivers
AMD has been on a roll when it comes to consistent driver updates, be it beta or WHQL certified, and with the ninth month of the year comes the release of their Radeon Crimson ReLive Edition 17.9.1 drivers. Given that the last beta driver brought with it game support already, this is more of the usual with bug fixes recognized from last time but also note this has a few bugs of its own discovered during the process. One of the more noteworthy bugs that were fixed with this update is the unresponsiveness of an RX Vega-driven system when woken up from sleep and then playing back videos, which was noted by multiple end users only recently, so it was a quick fix on AMD's part and credit must be given there. Grab the drivers from the download link below, and read on for the full change log.

One second later I remembered, crap my PC is down with no PSU.
I'm having this problem since 17.7.2, so I'm sticking to 17.7.1. At least they acknowledged it.
Rant over. :)
I was experiencing a problem after installing these drivers. My card wasn't idling down fully. Clocks at idle are normally 300/150. But with these drivers they wouldn't go below 500/1500. So I uninstalled them. Went to reinstall them to verify the issue was caused by these drivers and...no more telemetry option. Huh? Tried downloading the installer again...same thing.
Looks like they axed it. Whatever. I didn't want to participate anyway. For the record though, I wasn't complaining. I saw no problem with it whatsoever. I thought they did good by not having the box checked by default. Which isn't typical. You usually have to uncheck the box to opt out of such things.EDIT: Or not. That was on Windows 10. But I switched over to Windows 7, tried to install these drivers, and it's still there. I have no idea what's going on with that(SOLVED see EDIT 2). I took the opportunity to click on the Find out more... though, which takes you to the following page.

EDIT 2: I found the cause of the telemetry option disappearance when reinstalling. It was caused by using DDU. So don't use DDU to uninstall these drivers. If you want to do a clean uninstall use the AMD Clean Uninstall Utility. Unless you don't care about losing the telemetry option when reinstalling them. And if you did use DDU, but you want to have the telemetry option when reinstalling them, here's what you need to do.
1. Reinstall the drivers
2. Use the AMD Clean Uninstall Utility
3. Reinstall the drivers one more time, during which you'll now have the option of participating in the User Experience Program(telemetry) again
Oh...and reinstalling these drivers seems to have fixed the issue with the idle clocks. So it might be worth trying if you're having a similar issue.
