AMD Drivers and HDCP

[Brainonska511]

I've tried searching around for a solution, but I'm at a loss.

I noticed the other day in the AMD settings that HDCP was disabled, which has prevented the playing of some HD content on my desktop (i.e., rented movies). I'm running an R9 380X with Windows 10 64-bit Home; I've tried installing/reinstalling the latest WHQL driver (17.7.2) and I've even switched the monitor (since the other one had died). I've also tried HDMI, DVI-D, and DisplayPort. Anyone have any idea what might be up?

What does https://www.cyberlink.com/prog/bd-support/diagnosis.do say when you run it?

It says "HDCP (GPU/Display) not available"

Try DDU, and install WHQL drivers again.

Just tried that and the advisor tool still has the same error (as well as the AMD control panel). Just for reference, I should mention I'm currently using DisplayPort - don't know if it matters, since HDMI, DisplayPort, and DVI-D were all HDCP compliant and I've had this problem on all 3.

Should work with either DVI or HDMI or DP.
Does it work with older WHQL drivers? (can't use beta, since those don't support HDCP.)

Thanks! I went to the 17.4.3 WHQL drivers using the clean install option. After a reboot, it passes the HDCP test in the Cyberlink adviser. As an additional test, a movie I had purchased through Google can now show as HD when I play through Youtube (before, it was limited to 480p on this machine).

For some reason, the AMD control panel still shows it as HDCP disabled, but perhaps there is some bug within their drivers. Kind of aggravating overall.
