Windows 10 crashes after installing latest AMD graphics drivers

Hi,

I did a fresh install of windows 10 on my laptop. When I try to install the AMD graphics drivers, windows freezes. After force shutdown and restart, windows freezes on the login screen.

Then, if I boot into safe mode and disable the AMD drivers, then it runs fine. But, enabling the drivers again causes the same issue.

The driver for the integrated graphics works fine.

I ran the dism commands for ScanHealth and RestoreHealth. There was no error.

I ran sfc /scannow. There was no error

Laptop: Lenovo Z51-70

Processor: Intel i5 5200U

Integrated GPU: Intel HD Graphics 5500

GPU: AMD R9 M375

    Facing the freeze issue with my Dell Inspiron 7520 SE and AMD 7730M Graphics card.

    Previous Radeon Software was working fine with W10.

    Recently I tried to install Radeon Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.11.2 and It freezes at 95% of instalattion or when I reboot de laptop W10 freezes at login screen. When W10 Update try to install AMD Driver, it also freezes the laptop.

    I can't use my video card, It is old but I want to use it. I have tried all available tutorials, AMD Clean Up Utility, Install Intel recently drivers, but nothing works.

    It´s very frustating and annoying.....

    When Microsoft/AMD will provide a solution for us ???

    The only issue with this work around is that the screen resolution reverts to 1024 x 768.

    Would be good to get a proper fix.  Trying to install the AMD legacy drivers that are supposed to be compatible with Win 10 (they were before 20H2 release) took out win 10 and complete reinstall needed then all of the applications including office 2019
