latest AMD driver 26.3.1 causes windows 11 to become completely inoperable from startup

so I've been struggling with this for about 2 weeks since the 19th of march to be exact.

the current amd gpu driver and adrenalin break windows so bad i have to use ddu to revert it back. but now several modern games refuse to run (on the previous version) and the SAME EXACT PROBLEM happens when i do what the affected app or game says and install 26.3.1 again.

do i have to wait for amd to release a patch? what is there to do about this its killing my gpu and pc on the current version (and this hardware is fairly new 1 year old)
