Windows 10: Windows 10 Creators update - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 driver issues

Hello community!

I have upgraded my Vaio to Windows 10 Aniversary update earlier this year and had some troubles with the GPU drivers - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650. After many tries and searches I have managed to find a functional driver, version 8.723.8.2000 from Vaio UK's website.

If I am using any newer version of the GPU driver I cannot watch any movies and I can't remote play on my PS :/ Because I have disabled GPU driver updates via Microsoft's Show/Hide update utility I can use my Vaio without issues.

Yesterday I have upgraded to Creators update and unfortunately my old driver does not work anymore... In device manager I get this error "Windows cannot use this hardware device (Code 47)"
With newer ATI drivers, the error disappears but I still cannot remote play or play any videos/movies.

I am looking for a solution to make Creators update accept my old Vaio Radeon 8.723.8.2000 driver and somehow bypass the Code 47 error. Is there any workaround to fool Windows into accepting my driver?

Thank you!
Paul

AMD Display Driver 8.970.100.9001 fails to work in Windows 10 after critical actualization of November 2017

Up to now, my ATI Radeon HD 4570 display card ran perfectly in Windows 10. But after the actualization of November 2017, the same display driver 8.970.100.9001 fails to work.

Below info is captured from AMD website Windows® 10 Driver Support for Discrete AMD Rad... | Community:

"The following Discrete AMD Radeon™ Graphics products support up to WDDM 1.1 and DirectX® 10.1:

ATI Radeon™ HD 4000 Series /ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4000 Series Graphics

ATI Radeon™ HD 3000 Series /ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3000 Series Graphics

ATI Radeon™ HD 2000 Series /ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 2000 Series Graphics



These graphics products must be installed using display driver version: 8.970.100.9001. This driver is provided as a courtesy and only available via Windows Update. Please enable Windows Update and allow it to detect and install the appropriate driver."

Thank you.

 

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. driver update for ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series - Error 0x800f0203

This update has been trying (and failing) to install daily for over a month now. the additional information says:

"Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. driver update for ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series

"This driver was provided by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. for support of ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series"

According to the AMD web site, they no longer support this video. It says that the driver for this device has been provided as a courtesy to Microsoft, and that you should use Windows Update to install the driver. To quote the AMD website:

"Article Number: GPU-624

ATI Radeon™ HD 4000/ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4000, ATI Radeon™ HD 3000/ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3000, and ATI Radeon™ HD 2000/ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 2000 Series Graphics reached peak performance optimization in October, 2013.

No additional driver releases are planned for these products.

The last operating system supported using the AMD drivers was Microsoft Windows® 8 with the AMD Catalyst 13.1 driver package, which can be downloaded from the AMD Driver page :

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download

Driver support for these products under Windows® 8.1 and Windows® 10 is only available via Windows Update. Please enable Windows Update to allow it to automatically detect and install display driver version 8.970.100.9001"

According to Device Manager, this is the driver version that is already installed on my system. Any suggestions about how to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated.

 

Hi paulie. Welcome to the TenForums @paulie

Have you tried installing the old driver in compatibility mode. Right click on exe, then left on Properties. In the window that opens you click on Compatibility.

It's a long shot.

Hi Caledon Ken!
The drivers are installing fine, there are no compatibility issues reported by Windows. However I did not specifically install the driver using compatibility mode.
I have reverted back to anniversary edition so its not so easy to test it out *Sad

 

Okay. You can try again when it happens.You will likely be late on the list for MS to initiate the update. The Creator update is being rolled out and as this happens MS is learning and fixing. No guarantee they will be better with the old driver at a later date.

I had an old 6000 series and threw in the towel. AMD has given up support and that meant it was time for me to move on for my primary device.

 

Thank you for your help. Small chances that the drivers will be accepted in the future. Either I stop watching movies / remote play PS or I do not upgrade to Creators. *Smile
