Common AMD Radeon random GPU driver problems (software fails to start). Solutions available.
I'm sure these individuals won't resolve their driver issues. Nothing has changed, and I'm starting to see this error. The Radeon software won't launch. What should I do? And I understand that installing a new version will reset all my settings. How can I prevent this?
Remove the software and verify with DDU that no driver traces are left. As a note (but don’t rely on this), your preferences should stay intact after a reset, or you might find a hidden Radeon config file in a specific location that could be useful to keep.

It might reset your preferences when switching to a newer version if you replace the old one, unless you perform a fresh installation.
I've been running an AMD GPU (RX 6800XT) for more than a year now. It hasn't adjusted any settings except for major software updates that add new features. For routine updates it doesn't make any changes. When using third-party tools like MSI Afterburner, you can bypass this issue completely.
I've worked with three different setups. Only the full AMD one is experiencing these problems. I'm confirming this by saying I haven't made any changes, and it's just begun to fail. This hasn't happened before on my Intel or NVIDIA machines.
