F@H Ellesmere GPU folding slot marked as "Failed" while using AMD PRO Edition drivers

[MSMSMSM]

I have a very absurd problem. I decided to switch from BOINC to F@H for a while for my RX480 and while it seemed things were chugging along, I checked the "Advanced Control" to find that my GPU folding slot has been marked as failed.

Here's the system info from FAHControl (Note: F@H reports my install as Windows 10 Enterprise, it's actually Windows 11 Pro for Workstations 22H2)

And there's nothing in the logs elaborating on the failure

I decided to check my drivers to see perhaps an update had dropped but oddly enough, there doesn't seem to be a PRO update since Oct '22

Oddest of all, while doing some troubleshooting steps as suggested by the internet, I learned that my OpenCL drivers are completely unsigned... they're the only things that are unsigned

The simple solution would be just to switch to the regular, Adrenalin drivers and call it a day but I've got two questions.

• I use PRO drivers for stability and that's worked out so far, BOINC (PrimeGrid) had no problems doing number crunching using the GPU so why does F@H have a problem (if it has a problem with that at all)
• Why are there unsigned OpenCL drivers on my computer? How'd they get there? I've never in the history of the system install allowed for the installation of unsigned drivers (i.e. I've kept driver signature enforcement enabled). I have no hardware that needs unsigned drivers.

I use Pro Drivers (27.20.21026.2006)as well for my W4100 in my Daily Driver, which I don't fold on (It has a RTX 4070 for folding). I'm running Windows 10 Pro (22H2) and I also see un-signed OpenCL Drivers from the Kronos Group in my Pro Drivers but mine are 3.0.3.0. I suspect the culprit is either AMD or the FAHClient package.

 

A slot getting into a "Failed" state can usually be fixed with a reboot in Linux but you'd have to wait for someone who folds on AMD GPUs to chime in
