AMD Driver 26.6.2 seems to have broken Windows 10. At the moment the only solution is uninstall your drivers and reinstall the old ones. My driver crash happened randomly :/. It also said, "To continue using AMD Software, download and install the compatible version."
TLDW:
1. Download AMD Cleanup Utility https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/faqs/GPU-601.html
2. Download DDU https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download/
3. Boot into safe mode. Hold Shift on your keyboard press restart. Then press troubleshoot, advanced options startup settings then restart.
4. Once restarted press 4 for safe mode.
5. Once in safe mode open and run the downloaded AMD Cleanup Utility. Don't restart.
6. Run DDU if you don't know how here is a tutorial (https://youtu.be/38W2ZXWw8l0?si=HwUa2v6YZbwn_LVk)
7. Restart PC back into normal windows.
8. Once in normal windows on google search for amd drivers https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/drivers.html
9. Do not use the auto install instead choose from Search or Browse Drivers and Support by Product and find your graphics card.
10. Once found download 26.6.1 for windows 10 or select the bottom if you want a previous version (26.6.1 is fine for me).
11. Download and install the driver as usual BUT at the end ensure to uncheck keep AMD software upto date.
12. Done.
