Latest Windows 11 Cumulative Update Preview Breaks AMD Software Application
Microsoft put up the latest Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 on Windows Update (retail channel). Referenced in KB5030310, this update to Windows 11 has been found to break the usability of the AMD Software application, or the main control panel utility of AMD Software Adrenalin drivers. The latest Windows 11 cumulative update preview causes AMD Software to reset custom user settings upon each system reboot (hard reboot, which reloads drivers and starts a new user session, not fast startup). The bug does not, however, affect the core display driver functionality. It's more likely that this issue will be addressed by an AMD Software update, than having to wait for the next Windows 11 Patch Tuesday.

bye bye M$
The AMD community shows a fix disabling that crap with vivetool.
Am running W11 just like that last 3 months for +-12h a day and never had any issues!! Same with W10 and that was working more then 12 months ;)
I will not claim "It just works" © Todd Howard, but in general they really do just work.
Developing for Docker on Windows is just painful.
backbad quality control at Microsoft has become.It annoys me that Microsoft knowingly breaks Radeon Software even in production versions of W10 and W11 by forcing just the bare driver without checking for (and also updating) the matching control panel component of the Radeon Software bundle.

back? That's not even a typo! I must be going dyslexic :\
Wonder what the volume of articles would be if we wrote one every time there was a Linux kernel beta patch or a beta distribution preview update that broke a piece of software?
"Update Preview" is tested and released update to fix something urgent when it is not possible to wait to standard Patch Tuesday (monthly released cumulative update).
