Description:
A super-annoying Windows 11 bug has been stamped out, with a slight catch.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

A bug thats been frustrating Windows 11 users with AMD graphics cards (and 
CPUs to an extent) has been fixed in the latest update for Microsofts OS  or 
mostly fixed, anyway, going by reports. 

 This glitch was brought in with the Moment 4 update (it was first seen in 
the preview of that upgrade), and it messed with AMD profile settings. Every 
time affected users restarted their PC, those GPU settings (and reportedly 
CPU settings too, in some instances, like overclocking) went back to their 
defaults. 

The good news is that the Windows 11 update for November (which began rolling 
out last week) cured this issue, albeit with some caveats. 

As Windows Latest reports, the bug has been squashed according to its own 
testing. The tech site has also been talking to a selection of users hit by 
the bug and the majority said that this new patch from Microsoft fixed things 
 however, a few observed that their profile was still being reset. 

It appears there are still minor gremlins kicking about, perhaps, though it 
should be noted that for the fix to work, as well as the November update for 
Windows 11, you also need to be running AMDs Adrenalin graphics driver 
version 23.10.2. 

Another slight caveat, too: the November update that resolves this issue has 
some vexing problems itself . Analysis: A thornier problem for some? 

This is a nasty bug. Having your settings reset and having to redo any 
customization from scratch after every single PC restart is going to get very 
annoying, very quickly. Especially if youve done a lot of tweaking on your 
AMD system. 

Seeing the fix arrive is great news, although theres the slight catch of 
apparently not everyone getting the benefit. Windows Latest doesnt make it 
clear if those who found the bug still present after the latest Windows 11 
update were using the mentioned version of AMDs GPU driver (v23.10.2), but 
presumably they were, as the site wouldve surely clarified that if not. 

The tech site suggests that those continuing to be affected may be suffering 
a profile reset from another cause other than Windows 11 updates. 

Whatever wrinkles are left in the solution, if any, Microsoft will hopefully 
iron them out quickly - although the software giant hasnt actually confirmed 
the presence of this fix in the new update. You might also like Windows 11

but why won't people upgrade? Copilot needs plenty of work - but Microsoft is 
already improving it
