  • SPV_GOOGLE_decorate_string
    • This extension provides two new instructions to decorate a variable or a struct member with a string.
  • SPV_GOOGLE_hlsl_functionality1

Heads up with these. The clean uninstall bug is back. They removed my chipset drivers, my printer, and my NIC drivers.

I am not familiar with this--is that using an AMD/Adrenaline-based clean uninstall, or using DDU to perform the clean uninstall, or any attempt to do a clean uninstall?

It's for the AMD's clean uninstall in the driver package.

Rolled back to previous drivers, constant "Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework Host Process" @ 100% CPU usage with the 18.10.1 drivers for over a week, 18.9.3 no issue at all.

Every now and again AMD's drivers do it, I just roll back and skip that month.
