AMD Radeon Settings Driver Version Bug

So I am currently running version 19.1.1 of AMD Radeon Settings. My graphics card is an MSI R9 290. If you take a look at the screenshot image below, my "New Recommended" driver version is the same driver version I have installed, that surely is a bug? No matter how many times I reinstall the driver it is recommending I install the same version I have. I have no yet tried to update to 19.2.2, would that be the best option to do?

The reason why I would be scared to update is because 19.2.1 would not work at all, my computer would constantly crash, giving off a buzzing sound, and then once restarted it says "Default Radeon Wattman settings have been restored due to an unexpected system failure". I have tried so many fixes for this and nothing has helped.

Any help or suggested plans of action in relation to Radeon Settings suggesting I install the same version I already have, or taking a chance on upgrading to 19.2.2, is greatly appreciated.

I'm running 19.2.2 for my CF VEGA64's and Radeon VII setups, I have no issue with it, custom fan curve set in Wattman is sticking and consistently starts up whenever I power up my rig.....something the previous drivers failed at......sometimes. Played Metro Exodus and RE2 without issue, even completed the former without a hitch......

I can update and say that 19.2.2 no longer has the version bug. Although the Wattman crash error has happened 2 times in the past 3 hours. Is there any way of preventing the wattman crash happening? I do not have any overclock applied, everything in Wattman is set to default.
