Windows 10: I have purchased a new computer an proceeded to update my amd drivers and VulkanRT is still...

As the title simply suggests I purchased a new computer and had a few issues with it at first, I had to uninstall and reinstall my graphics drivers for my AMD RX 5700 XT. I don't think that there's a correlation between the absence of my drivers and the VulkanAPI, however, when I went to run an application which is only supported by vulkan, I was getting GPU crashes and exception access violations left and right. I narrowed the problem down to the absence of the vulkan API on my system and need to know a way to ascertain it, I have tried updating my drivers but to no avail.

SSD samsung evo and amd drivers

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

The issue could be because of the AMD drivers installed on the computer.

Since the Samsung SSD is working fine with the Microsoft AHCI driver, I suggest you to update the AMD driver and check if that helps. To update the AMD drivers follow the steps from the article

Update drivers in Windows 10.

If updating the drivers didn’t help, I suggest you to roll back the driver to previous build and check if that helps. To roll back the driver to previous build follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press and hold the Windows + X key on the keyboard.
   
2. Select Device manager.
   
3. In Device manager, expand IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.
   
4. Right click on AMD SATA Controller and select
   Properties.
   
5. Navigate to the Driver tab and click on Roll Back Driver.
   
6. Restart the computer.
   

Hope it helps.
