The last few Windows 10 preview builds were far from stable, but things improved a fair bit over the year, after Microsoft unleashed build 9926 to Windows Insiders towards the end of last month.
However, the driver issues still persist for many users — particularly for graphics.
The myriad of tablet devices, along with various GPUs on the desktop side of things mean that most drivers are not exactly optimized. And considering the fact that many people are using these Windows 10 versions on their main computes, several issues have emerged online.
On the AMD side of things we have confirmation via their Windows 10 information page that the existing driver packages are compatible with technical preview builds.
However, with the latest 9926 build some users have come across stability and performance problems. One common issue is the device detection issue. The Microsoft Answers forum is filled with posts where users are getting a “code 43” in Device Manager for their AMD graphics card.
Luckily, AMD is working on this problem, and new drivers for Windows 10:
@CrazyCatsGot2@GabeAul Hi! We are working on a solution, which is coming soon! Note the latest post by @AMD’s Pete: http://t.co/ss59O1yh3T

Pete Leventhal, the Director of Software Engineering at AMD has posted in the forums above, confirming that they are working with Microsoft to fix this issue on a priority basis.
Nice show of readiness from AMD to push an update for users that are running an unfinished version of the operating system. Fingers firmly crossed for a new release soon that fixes these (and other such) problems on the graphics side of things.
