"This new version of the AMD chipset driver includes a new installer programmed from scratch, with a new interface, optimized storage space, and a performance-optimized installer."
This is what the installer says when we go to download it from the AMD website. However, as we said, many users are complaining that the installer is blocked and does not get installed. Do you have this same problem? Then keep reading, because below we are going to tell you a possible solution.
How to install AMD chipset driver
It seems that the installer remains at 0%, and even if you leave it there for an hour "thinking", the progress bar does not advance and the driver does not get installed. Even if you close the installer and restart your computer to try again, the same thing always happens; Similarly, even if you uninstall the previous version that you had installed, the problem remains and you still do not install the new version.
If nothing you've tried works, what you should do is open a window of Command Prompt as Administrator (Right click on the Start button -> Command Prompt (administrator). From there, you should navigate to the folder where you have the installer. For example, suppose you have downloaded the AMD chipset driver file at C: AMD Drivers; then, you must enter these two commands (type them and press ENTER):
"Cd "
"Cd C: AMD Drivers"
Once there, you just have to run the name of the installer with the following command:
"START AMD_Chipset_Software.exe / S"
That will start the installer again, as administrator, and users are reporting that this has already allowed them to perform the installation. In some cases, they report that the progress bar starts moving forward immediately, although in others they say it continues to stay at 0% for a couple of minutes and then go directly to 100%. In any case, there are also users who report that this method has not worked for them, although they are few, for the majority it has served them.
Remember, anyway, that installing a new chipset driver is usually optional, since as a general rule you will never need to update it unless you are having problems. In any case, remember also that on the AMD website you can still download the previous version, if it continues to give you problems. Surely AMD is aware of the issues that the new installer is bringing and will release a new revision soon.
