    It's an AMD driver. Try this workaround.

    1. Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog box.
    2. Type msconfig and press Enter to open System Configuration.
    3. Navigate to the Services tab.
    4. Look for "AMD ACP AFD User Service" in the list.
    5. Uncheck the box next to it, click Apply, and then OK.
    6. Restart Windows.
