This driver also fixes some random corruption issues that could appear in Microsoft desktop productivity applications on Radeon RX Vega series graphics product, blank displays after installing/upgrading to a Radeon RX Vega Series graphics card, and a bug that could cause the “Reset” option in Radeon Settings Gaming tab to enable the “HBCC Memory Segment” feature instead of setting it to the default disabled state.
