AMD has released its Adrenalin 26.11.1 optional graphics driver, bringing the promised fix for a bug that caused excessive writes to system drives on Radeon-powered PCs. The issue could occur even when the computer was idle, potentially accumulating hundreds of gigabytes of unnecessary writes over time.

According to AMD’s release notes, the update addresses two instances of the problem. The first involves excessive writes to the system drive while the system is idle on Radeon RX 7000 series graphics products and newer, while the second concerns similar activity when moving or resizing application windows.
