Radeon graphics comes preinstalled with most AMD-based laptops, but if you have recently installed a fresh version of Windows or updated the drivers, you might get an error message saying Radeon settings and driver versions do not match error. This error is very annoying as once you update the graphics drivers, you expect the software to run without such warnings. Although the error seems strange as it has something to do with the problem not loading perfectly, due to the driver’s issue.
If you are also facing a similar situation where the Radeon software won’t open and shows ‘Radeon settings and driver versions do not match, you’re not alone. This message occurs whenever you update the graphics drivers either manually or via auto update settings. In some cases, the driver will get automatically updated and will show you this error message out of the blue. But don’t worry as there are a couple of easy troubleshooting methods to fix this situation.
