AMD extends FSR 4.1 upscaling to RX 6000 GPUs and Ryzen AI Max handhelds

AMD's new 26.10.1 graphics driver enables FSR 4.1 machine-learning upscaling natively on Radeon RX 6000 desktop GPUs, Ryzen AI Max APUs, and laptops with Ryzen AI 9 chips, without requiring mods like Optiscaler. Handhelds using Ryzen Z2 Extreme, Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme, and Z2 A chips will also get support, though only once their manufacturers release compatible drivers. AMD says Xbox Series console support is coming soon, but did not mention the Steam Deck despite its shared RDNA 2 architecture.

Microsoft issues emergency fix for buggy Windows 11 25H2 update

Microsoft released an out-of-band patch to address problems introduced by its September 2026 Windows 11 update, which had shipped with new taskbar and Start menu customization features alongside nearly 1,000 security fixes. The rollout caused crashes on AMD Radeon GPUs, audio input/output failures, Remote Desktop instability, and Explorer black-screen issues after login. The emergency update addresses several of these regressions, though the AMD GPU crashes were not explicitly called out as fixed.
