AMD has released an optional driver update for AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.11.1. This fixes two issues that could cause excessive data to be written to the system storage during normal computer use.

The first fix concerns the continuous writing of data to disk while the system is idle. According to AMD, this issue affects Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards and newer models.
The second fix addresses a write overwrite issue that occurs when app windows are moved or resized. AMD highlights this case separately, without specifying which video cards are affected by it.
Users experiencing any of these issues are advised to download and install a new driver. Although AMD marks this release as optional (it’s actually a Hotfix driver), it contains official fixes for both causes of disk overwrite. Both problems actually slowly kill the SSD.
The VideoCardz portal also advises using the official update from AMD, abandoning third-party utilities or unofficial methods for solving the above problems. Before installing the official AMD driver, it is also recommended that you read the instructions for restoring system default settings.
You can download the optional driver AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.11.1 from AMD official website.
