How to fix amd 25.10.13.1?

After updating to amd 25.10.13.1 I’ve noticed instability and display glitches. Rolling back helped briefly but I’d like a proper fix. Did anyone find driver clean-install steps (DDU), specific driver versions, or BIOS settings that resolved problems with this AMD package?
 
AMD 25.10.13.1 usually appears due to corrupted installation files or incompatible updates. First, uninstall the current AMD drivers using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller). Then reboot and reinstall the latest stable AMD Adrenalin version from AMD’s official site. Also check Windows updates and disable third-party GPU tweak tools temporarily.
 
I also experienced the same hiccup when a new update of Adrenalin was installed. Do a proper DDU clean install in Safe mode ( downloading from DDU, Booting to Safe mode and running "Clean and Restart" then a known stable version of Adrenalin rather than allowing the Auto-updates to choose any old one. Once reinstated, visit Windows update and confirm that any optional patches regarding the graphics card are installed, but should not re-enable any third-party tuning software (MSI Afterburner, RGB/OC junk may come in between). This completed the loop of flicker/crash in me.
 
LOL I did all that - uninstalled, swore, rebooted, threw a potato into it, then wiped the drive with a DDU and installed the driver again and then the glitches disappeared to the majority. If you'd like something more: reset CMV (quick defaults from the rest on the Corsair memory management buildin built into the motherboard) and make sure that your PCIe slot is set on the correct link mode (Auto/Gen4 depending of card used). It is worth the effort to try it out and then switch drivers.
 
Nah, that’s not the point 25.10.13.1 was a preview for Battlefield and some rigs saw regressions. If the new package breaks your desktop, roll back to the last stable (or 25.6.x) and wait for AMD to push a hotfix.
Both make good points: if a game demands a version you don’t have, try the game-required driver, but if the desktop is unstable afterwards, revert and do the full DDU clean before re-trying.
 
Quick checklist you can paste into your troubleshooting post:
  1. Backup important stuff.
  2. Download latest adrenalin (and an older known - stable version) + DDU
  3. Boot Safe Mode - utilize DDU ("clean and start up).
  4. Install selected driver Using - Custom/Express installer
  5. Reboot, jeal it off auto overclock\ tune apps, test(games, desktop video).
  6. If still bad: then reset the bios to defaults, check for motherboard chipset drivers and install them, and then test again. When nothing comes to help, record down the precise symptoms/screen shots and wait until AMD hotfix (they are releasing preview/stable splits these days).
