I have an x570 MEG ACE with the latest bios (v19). I've been plagued with this issue ever since I updated to the 2004 version of Windows 10.
I finally found a workaround for this. Keep in mind this might not work for all. My username has two spaces in it. This apparently was causing an issue with the installer. I tried changing the TEMP and TMP paths to no avail - driver extracted but installation failed with error 1603.
Here's how I solved the issue:
Enable the built-in administrator account with the following cmd command (elevated/admin mode - your user account needs to have administrator right)
net user administrator /active:yes
In order to set a password for this account type this command next:
net user administrator <Password>
where
<Password> is the actual password you want to use for this account.
I'm not sure if setting a password is necessary for everyone, my admin account seemed to have a password already (I don't remember setting it), the above command seemed to overwrite/reset it.
[more details about the above commands may be found here:
Windows 10 tip: How to enable the built-in Administrator account (and why you shouldn't) | ZDNet ]
Log into your admin account (switch user/log out of your present account and log into the admin account).
Download the latest amd chipset driver for your board and install it.
Mine worked without any issue.
If you want to disable the admin account:
1. Log out of the admin account
2. Log into your normal user account
3. Enter cmd (elevated mode)
4. Type the following command:
net user administrator /active:no
5. Exit cmd.
The drivers installed in the built-in admin account should be visible the add or remove programs list of your default account.
The main issue with this clunky method is that you need to go into the admin account to reinstall this driver, at least until amd resolves this issue.
I also think it might be possible to simply create a new account with admin privileges without any space in the username and install your driver. (Haven't tested this myself)
Hope this helps,
Cheers!
