How to fix error amd-driver-timeout-detected in Windows 11

Solution Steps

1. 1 Press Windows key + R, type 'winver' and press Enter to check your Windows version. Ensure you have the latest Windows updates installed, as outdated Windows can cause driver conflicts.
2. 2 Open Device Manager (Windows key + X > Device Manager). Expand 'Display adapters', right-click your AMD GPU, and select 'Uninstall device'. Check 'Delete the driver software for this device' and click Uninstall. This removes the current driver completely.
3. 3 Restart your PC. Windows will install a basic display driver, but we'll replace it with the latest AMD driver.
4. 4 Download the latest AMD Adrenalin driver from AMD's official website (amd.com/drivers). Use the auto-detect tool or manually select your GPU model and Windows 11. Run the installer and choose 'Factory Reset' option if available. This ensures a clean installation.
5. 5 After installation, open Radeon Software (right-click on desktop > AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition). Go to Settings > Graphics and disable 'Radeon Anti-Lag' and 'Radeon Chill' temporarily, as these can cause timeouts. Also, set 'Power Tuning' to default if you've overclocked.
6. 6 If the issue persists, use the 'AMD Cleanup Utility' (download from AMD) to completely remove all AMD drivers, then reinstall the latest driver. This tool is designed to remove all remnants.
7. 7 Check if Windows Update is replacing your driver: Go to Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options > Optional updates. Look for any AMD driver updates and uninstall them if present, as they might be older versions.
