I have the same issue with 295, but DDU works for me when launched in a normal session of Windows.
Typically what I do is that I uninstall the drivers with the AMD uninstaller, then I start DDU. I'm given a prompt asking if I want to restart in Safe Mode and I say yes. Once in Safe Mode windows is glitchy and flashing, but DDU launches on its own. So I get to use it and then reboot in a normal session.

This shows the issue occurs when loading the game's assets, suggesting an issue with a storage controller. Could be an issue with the driver for it not sharing well, a memory leak, or hardware share issue. (lots of weirdness and lag with the occasional IRQ Sharing Violation BSOD)

I had a problem with an onboard SATA not coexisting with my vid card ever since I upgraded to Win10. I was finally able to address the problem with a full reset of the mobo's BIOS (with CMOS wipe) so that the internal resource tables would be wiped and rebuilt. Plus I also forced updated chipset drivers using the -overall switch (Intel).

Now they coexist just perfectly.

The reason restarting the game didn't show the issue is because the game has been cached to memory and a lot of it doesn't need to be reloaded.

I would agree with you if this was an issue in general.

But I've been using my setup happily for the last months (before and after formatting, reinstalling Win10 etc) and this behavior only appeared after this "problematic" driver uninstall/install.

You could very well be right, of course, if this thing persists after a full DDU sweep, so I will have to try myself and I'm counting on you to guide me to any steps necessary if this will be the case.

TY as well.

Almost successful!

DDU worked after setting it to launch in safe mode, cleaned, rebooted, installed 16.5.3, rebooted.

There are still some ups and owns on core/mem clock (guess it's a driver vs 290 thing) but less aggressive.

Also, 3d apps (aka games) have a much smoother feeling upon first launch.

Disabled h/w accel on Ffox and got rid of black window content.

Now I'm just waiting for the TW3 patch+DLC (14GB) to finish downloading and have a go.

Btw, I think I read somewhere that 16.3s are just around the corner.

You mean 16.6 not 16.3
