Yay, movement on the 16 at last! Now if only we could get a BIOS update to address the long list of known issues with our laptops…

Wait its still the old GPU and Chipset Driver?

Yup.

For reference AMD are now on
25.6.1 for GPU
7.06.02.123 for Chipset

Is there actually any benefit of running FW driver packs now?

Yay!

Ehh …

Windows Studio Effects requires a Copilot+ PC with an NPU boasting over 40 tera operations per second (TOPS) to deliver a range of enhancements that elevates your virtual presence

Notes: Only the following effects are available on devices with a neural processing unit (NPU)that can perform less than 40 trillion operations per second (TOPS).

  • Background effects
  • Eye contact - standard
  • Automatic framing
  • Voice focus

Note: On some devices, turning on camera effects might have a significant effect on performance and battery life. These effects include Background effects , Eye contact , and Automatic framing .

Thanks for the updated drivers!

Why can’t I see the link to download and the sha in knowledgebase page?

Can we get this in a form where you can select what you want? Having to downgrade things like my graphics drivers to update something like a fingerprint sensor only to need to update my graphics drivers again is less than ideal.

I had to install the FW driver bundle 2.05 first and reboot, then re-install the AMD adrenaline 25.6.1 with factory reset and reboot and then install AMD chipset 7.06.02.123 and reboot. Quite a process if you want everything cleanly installed.

To your point yes it would be convenient if the FW Bundle installer would prompt with options what to install.

The executable can be separated into individual installers with something like 7zip or another compressed archive tool.

The installer should definitely improve in the future but for those looking for a short-term workaround, that’s your best bet.

Beta releases such as this are not listed there. Once these drivers are vetted and signed off, that page will be updated and there will be a widespread announcement of the release.
