r/Amd on Reddit: Ryzen Master Driver not installed properly [FIXED]
November 16, 2021 -

Hello, today I had to reinstall my windows. After installing it I ran into problems with ryzen master not being able to start.

I have tried reinstalling it, deleting Registry files and other online solutions I found.

NOTHING worked for me.

Then as a last hope I contacted one of the most knowledgeable people I know that found a way to fix it. And the fix is extremely illogical.

Chances are, if you have this error you are using and AMD GPU.

Chances, yet again, I would assume you installed the GPU drivers through AMD Adrenaline, but perhaps you forgot to clean on Advanced Settings and check the "Factory Reset" option.

You might think what does the GPU driver have to do with Ryzen master? My guess is as good as yours.

I deleted my Adrenaline, reinstalled it, clicked on factory reset and after installation and PC reboot.

RYZEN MASTER WORKS!

Troubleshooting: I have tried uninstall/reinstall, uninstalling the chipset drivers and reinstalling them, completely cleaning Ryzen Master + it's associated folders from the computer, deleting old RegEdit versions, edited RegEdit "ImagePath" property to remove "??", used the Microsoft tool to check for any program conflicts

Hi

Welcome to the Microsoft community.

Your problem may be caused by some configuration problems or registry problems of your Windows system. You could try the following steps first.

1. Press Win+R, type regedit to enter the registry interface, and locate the following directory.

*HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services*

2. In the services folder find the amdryzenmasterdriverv13 and amdryzenmasterdriverv14.

3. Right click directly to delete the entire V13 and V14 directory.

4. Restart your computer after deletion to check whether your ryzen master can be turned on and running normally.

Disclaimer: Generally, modifying registry subkeys or work group is intended for advanced users, administrators, and IT Professionals. It can help fix some problems, however, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For further protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click here to view the article. **** https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-back-up-and-restore-the-registry-in-windows-855140ad-e318-2a13-2829-d428a2ab0692

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

Your problem may be caused by not installing the AMD motherboard chip. Generally speaking, the first thing to do after installing the system is to install the motherboard chip driver, which involves the subsequent installation of many drivers. Therefore, your Ryzen master cannot be installed may because the motherboard chip is not installed in advance.

My current suggestion is first go to the AMD official website to download the installation package of the motherboard chip driver. Don't install it first. Then uninstall all AMD driver packages in your screenshot (including Ryzen Master), and then restart your computer. Once the restart is complete, then start installing your AMD motherboard chip driver. Restart again after installation. Finally, try to install Ryzen master again to see whether it works normally.

Keep us posted if you encounter any challenges along the process.
