AMD Graphics Card Driver Update Issue: Unsupported 16-bit Application Error after OS Reinstall

Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

Why does the AMD driver updater show an unsupported 16-bit application error after reinstalling Windows, and how can I fix it?

The automatic AMD updater is broken here, so use manual driver installation instead of the update function. On a 64-bit system, 16-bit applications are not supported, which is why that error appears when the updater starts [#16293952] The system in question was Windows 7 N x64 with a Radeon R9 280 Dual X, and the latest drivers installed normally when downloaded directly, but the in-program update still triggered the message [#16293926][#16295389] AMD's beta package was identified as the one being installed, and a linked AMD community thread indicates the issue was fixed on their side, but the practical advice given was simply not to update automatically for now [#16294088][#16295397][#16296771]

    Hello,
    I have a problem with the driver for the AMD card. During the update, it shows me this message: AMD Graphics Card Driver Update Issue: Unsupported 16-bit Application Error after OS Reinstall
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still the same. It started showing up after reinstalling the system.

    Enter the system version, card model and the versions of the drivers you are installing.

    Download the 64bit version?

    Try some older / newer drivers, because sometimes something didn't work for me (but I didn't have such an error), download 32 and 64B, uninstall the whole AMD folder, PS have you installed motherboard drivers etc?

    Give what I wrote about.

    In addition, include the card ID from the uradzen manager (ven and dev).

    Hello,
    after all, 64 bit systems don't support anything 16 bit, only 64 bit or 32 bit, you have to find 64 bit or worst case 32 bit version.

    greetings

    Yes it installs these pages. As well as steel new drivers, there is no problem, but to update via the program, this information pops up.

    So so far the automatic update does not work like something, you need to update it on their part.
