I have never used blender_factory_startup.cmd and dont know what and how to use that. I just double click it or right click and run as administrator to start blender.

@GKPrasad, you can find blender_factory_startup.cmd in the same directory where blender.exe is located
(for example: C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 3.2)

Running blender through this batch file loads blender with default settings

I tried with blender_factory_startup.cmd . It has got the same error. no toolbars and icons are displaying. Its just black everywhere.

Looks like a blender .zip install that was unproperly unpacked, the logs created by blender_factory_startup.cmd could probably be used to confirm, please attach them

run blender from blender_factory_startup.cmd
them close the blender instance (close button on top right corner)

I think after the update of amd. also after 3.2 coincidentally updated both very recently. not sure. so what could be the possible fix?

I reinstalled previous amd driver 22. 5 and it fixed. Ty for help

Also blender does not recognise my AMD RX 480 GPU for rendering. Are there any plugins which help blender use AMD gpus?

There is a conflict between the information provided in the blender_system_info.txt and the report.
One says Radeon RX 580 Series and the other says amd rx 480.

There is something wrong there, if AMD's Auto-Detect is installing the wrong divers, I recommend trying to manually install the driver for the corresponding GPU.

Looking at the automatic recommendations of AMD driver version 22.5.1 should be used.
22.7.1 is not the preferred one.

Anyway I installed 22.7.1 and the problem did not appear.
So I suspect that something led to the installation of a wrong driver in both cases reported (especially with the conflicting information in the system.txt).
Make sure you install the drivers for RX 480:

I have the same issue since update to AMD Adrinalin 22.7.1 with Blender 3.2.1 and also with Blender 3.2.2 I tried yesterday.
If I donwgrade the AMD driver back to Adrinalin 22.6.1 the issue is gone.

But I have an AMD RX 5600 (XFX Radeon RX 5600 XT Thicc III Ultra) and not a RX 480

Not an expert, but if you are having issues after a GPU update, I don't think that's a coincidence. Now, maybe your current GPU's driver happen to have some sort of bug, but maybe the issue comes from the installation instead: the wrong driver for your hardware, corrupted files/reg, stale files/reg from previous installations and whatnot. That's why it is good practice to perform a "clean" reinstallation when encountering issues that may be related to graphics driver.
And in that purpose it is highly suggested to NOT use any kind of automated solution that's supposed to auto-detect what driver you need, even from the manufacturer, and go yourself download the driver you need for your specific hardware on either AMD or Nvidia's websites.

This was already done by me. And if I reinstall the driver from AMD Adrenalin 22.6.1, as clean installation or simply installed over the current 22.7.1 or 22.8.1 version, every thing works fine again.

But I know that AMD done changes with OpenGL, because in the release note from 22.7.1 (https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-22-7-1) you can read:
OpenGL® Optimizations

Up to 79% increase in performance in Minecraft™ @ 4k Fabulous settings, using Radeon™ Software Adrenalin 22.7.1 on the Radeon™️ RX 6950XT, versus the previous software driver version 22.6.1 RS-491
Up to 75% increase in performance in Minecraft™ @ 4k Fabulous settings, using Radeon™ Software Adrenalin 22.7.1 on the Radeon™️ RX 6400, versus the previous software driver version 22.6.1 RS-495

And in the release note from 22.8.1 (https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-22-8-1):

Important Notes

OpenGL applications that are 10-bit aware are no longer supported with HDR display capabilities. Enabling 10-Bit Pixel Format in advanced graphics settings is only recommended for use of 10-bit aware OpenGL applications and not required for enabling 10-Bit Color Display Capabilities.

And the toolbars in Blender use OpenGL, if I am not wrong.

I tried to debug this issue, but wasn’t successful. It fails with a null pointer exception inside the driver during startup. Will try to debug more next week.

Looking at the issues we might need to blacklist these drivers. Has anyone tried to run with gpu workarounds enabled?

Was progressing a lot with blender and now because of this error the whole process has been put on hold. "Team blender" please fix this ASAP.

Any Updates about this issue?

None of the developers to my knowledge have been able to reproduce the issue. This makes it hard to do the right thing. So far no progress has been made. Personally I’m occupied with other driver issues and haven’t been able to spent time researching this one further.

Nonetheless we think this is a real issue, just don’t have free resources to make this a priority right now.

Also an issue on 22.9.1

Also an issue on 22.9.1 ![image.png](https://archive.blender.org/developer/F13559915/image.png)

K seems to work with 22.9.2 (Maybe cause I used DDU(Display Driver Uninstaller)) but now my browser constantly flashes black

Can you elaborate? How to use DDU?

Can I ask you to remove me from subscribers on this? I just pointed to a duplicate and was merged along with the author of the report.

You select device type(GPU)

It will autofill for your current gpu

and click clean and restart

Then reinstall your gpu drivers from amd's website

I can confirm the display driver uninstaller actually fixes the problem!!! Thank you so much 😭!! Before actually running the ddu application, I recommend putting your computer into safe mode and restart it just in case something does go wrong.

finally worked. thanks mate

DDU solved at the moment also for me this issue. But we will see how it will be, after next update from AMD. And finally, nobody knows why this happen to some users.

Unfortunately, DDU did not solve this issue for me. After reinstalling 22.9.2. for RX5700XT the Blender UI is still black

Issue is present again after the update to Adrenalin Edition 22.10.1.

It can't be the solution to do everytime a complete uninstall of drivers and settings with DDU.

If the issue is related to the installer of the driver, it doesn’t seem that we can influence it from the blender codebase. I am going to inform AMD about this topic. Hope they can solve it.

Mark it as a known issue as it hasn’t been confirmed to be a bug inside Blender.

This bug happens with me as well: Blender 3.3 with 22.10.3 Driver. 5700XT AMD card. :(

Added subscriber: @Soy55

Find the real culprit. you absolutely need have MSAA set as "Use appliccation settting" in the AMD driver. reverted to 22.11.1 and it work.

I can confirm the statement @Soy55, because I tested it after his hint.
The issue is solved, if the AMD driver use for MSAA the option "application settings" or "expand application settings". This works on the fly and Blender needs just a restart.

This worked for me and I was able to put it back to the Esports setting.

Interesting. Blender doesn't use MSAA, so perhaps the AMD driver expect Blender to tell them that we don't use it... I will check with their engineers.
