      Hello, Earlier today I Updated my AMD Display Drivers to version 27.20.1032.2. Then I opened Opera GX and Saw that Opera GX is nothing but a Black Screen. I Tried restarting, re-installing, etc. but nothing happened. Then I started rickrolling, I mean rolling back the drivers. And, It worked. I know the cause of the black screen.

      This is a critical problem because a lot of people are going to start updating too.

      How to reproduce:

      • Have an AMD Ryzen™ CPU
      • Go to Windows Updates
      • Check for updates
      • Under Optional Updates you can install your Opera-Breaking Display Driver (Don't)

      Exact Name of the Update: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. - Display - 27.20.1032.2

      My Computer specs:

      • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics
      • RAM: 16GB
      • GPU 0 (Deticated): NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti
      • GPU 1 (Intergraded): AMD Radeon™ Graphics

        @dan-gaming The problem happens with regular Opera? What about other Chromium based browsers?

          @leocg I know it works on chrome because I used it while trying to fix the problem. I might try regular Opera sometime later.
