    Does it just take you to the website to report a bug or is it a built-in form thing?

    From the article 'The new option opens a tool and grabs all your system's specifications automatically, information that you previously had to manually input every time you want to create a report for a bug.'

    Thats a rather old addition actually, came with a driver prior to 20.5.1 (dunno which) and that link only opens the website and doesn't prefill any hardware info either.

    However, the latest driver for WSL support come with a tool that properly collects the data and you have to only fill in a lot less. Expect it in the 20.6.1 release:

    That driver can be found here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-wsl-support

    I think you confused those two drivers hilbert

    I think by now we can safely assume there are fundamental issues with Navi and anyone buying one should be aware that you may be in for a horrible experience. Especially with Samsung monitors

    Can't report a driver issue through this if your screen is completely blank due to the issue.

    I can't decide if this is hilariously or tragically ironic that this is considered news-worthy for AMD...
