They compressed the installer more than usual. As for the driver DLL themselves, there is certainly a reduction, but nothing really big. Most of the total compressed packages are 50-150KB smaller. Seems like a lot of code cleanup to me.

The Win10 14393.10 build (Anniversary build released to the public) is once again choking on the AMD 16.8.1 certificates and refusing to install/run them unless secure boot is turned off. It's kind of bizarre, because AMD had fixed the problem in the 16.7.3's, so I thought we were good to go from that point on--so I have dropped back to the 16,7.3's because I'd rather run secure boot than the latest hotfix drivers. Hopefully they'll get it ironed out permanently, eventually.
