New build gives me this when I update GPU driver: 'AMD Software has stopped working' - why?

[Tommygunn]

Since I've built my new computer I get the message 'AMD Software has stopped working', see below.

This happens with the latest, previous and even older versions of the driver. It doesn't seem to have a noticeable impact on the actual installation but surely something is not right? Any ideas?

The update is for an XFX RX580 8GB Black Edition, Windows 10 64bit Home computer.

No anything that microsoft offers for any gpu graphics card doesn't always work out.
Tell windows update to not download drivers for your hardware always go through the manufacturer.

This is AMD GPU drivers I'm using, nothing to do with Microsoft.
In any case I've resolved this with a full DDU and the latest driver and the above did not happen. All fixed.
