What Issues Are People Facing With AMD’s Cleanup Tool And What To Lookout For?
Today, people are facing an issue where their PC will not allow them to download any drivers for anything. Mostly when a peripheral device is attached to your PC, it will detect it and begin driver installation accordingly, AMD Cleanup tool is designed to remove this feature.
This means when the PC can’t connect to the internet (even though it has managed to download the drivers manually from a different PC), the error is there.
And in the same situation, if you do reinstall the windows and this issue still exists then the problem must be coming somewhere else and not in the following sections. That could mean that the issue is not with the AMD Utility itself but something else.
Follow these steps and try reinstalling the files again
- From the control panel turn on or off Windows 11 updates of Automatic Driver.
- Type “change device installation settings” in the search bar in the menu and Click Start.
- Check it is set to YES

Also, make sure that your Windows system does not have any policy against files. If you exit Windows and even reinstalling your system fails to solve the problem, it must be Hardware-related, instead of AMD Software Components or Windows control panel’s programs.
In such a case, even if AMD Driver Uninstall Tool mistakenly detected a driver that it should not delete, on restarting the computer, your Windows will either set a driver from its own Windows’ drivers store folder or an error will be displayed in the Device Manager saying there is a problem (missing or corrupt driver) with that hardware.
Visit the download page for your motherboard’s Support, and download all the drivers for your motherboard, audio, and network. Then try to fix the problem if any.
If you have another problem which is that you can’t install the Motherboard drivers, you need the floppy disks or you can get the drivers from their website. It is very implausible that firmware will brick the motherboards.
However, software that just deletes certain files can’t damage a motherboard. Installing lost files or drivers again is really easy.
