CPU : Intel Core i5-4460
GPU : AMD R7 360
RAM : 16 gb
My friend has run into a problem, but they’re not very familiar with technology, so I’m speaking for them.
Some time back, their drivers stopped working and they couldn’t launch any games that use OpenGL. The worst was that the drivers wouldn’t reinstall themselves, and the app kept throwing errors. We tried DDU to perform a clean install, but that didn’t help either. Eventually, we had to download the OpenGL package from the Microsoft Store. That restored the ability to run games with OpenGL again. However, some games still show graphical issues (see attached picture).

This issue only appears in games using OpenGL, not those with DirectX or Vulcan.
So, is this a fixable problem, or is it related to the GPU failing slowly?

Other games such as Geometry Dash or MC are examples, but the source is unclear.

You're referring to MC, right? I'm not sure if I can mention which ones or from where. It's worth noting that this issue appears in 1.19. Meanwhile, on my PC, it functions perfectly with the same launcher.

Remove all games not available through official sources. Execute antivirus checks, run diagnostics, and repair any faulty or damaged files. Restore the games from legitimate launchers only. Avoid using unauthorized or pirated platforms at all times.

Av scan detected no problems, but Dismiss & SFCE reported corruption that was resolved. The bug remains unresolved. Also, Geometry Dash is hosted on Steam and has been reinstalled multiple times without any changes.
