AMD software problem: Error message at startup

After the latest Windows update, I got an error message from the AMD software on startup.

I had once upgraded my computer with a graphics card. I had previously used the integrated graphics. So the driver was still installed. Didn’t hurt much either.

Anyway, I got this error message now.

AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition Warning
---------------------------
The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible
with your currently installed AMD graphics driver.

Great message, then you can type in the URL to download the tool. I did that, but after starting it, I only got the following message.

Next, I looked in the Task Manager to see where exactly the software that is running here is located.

I also found this under AMD, CNext.

Actually, the idea was simply to throw the software out of the autostart and not to uninstall it completely, as I didn’t know whether it was just the graphics card driver or something else that was missing. But I didn’t find anything there.

In the end, I uninstalled the “AMD Software”. There was also an “AMD Chipset Software”, which should contain the other things and drivers for CPU, mainboard etc. So I uninstalled and restarted. The message was gone and everything still ran without any problems.
