Seeems like a driver issue

[Brecht]

I had this same issue after upgrading my GPU to an 5700XT; first my computer would freeze and reboot whenever I tried to run Radeon Adrenalin. That problem went away after reinstalling Windows, updating Windows, then installing the AMD drivers before anything else.

After getting the drivers installed, I ran into this issue with detoured.dll.

The suggestion linked above didn't work for me; Adrenalin freezes and reboots my system like before. WHAT DID WORK was the solution shared by user QuentinJalu here:

Just ran into this with the v20.12.1 driver and my 5600 XT (where Steam won't launch, complaining about detoured.dll) - that was after upgrading the driver from the previous version without a reboot. Reboots afterwards made no difference.

Found that installing the driver again as a "fresh install" worked just fine.

Used this installer: https://drivers.amd.com/drivers/radeon-software-adrenalin-2020-20.12.1-win10-64bit-dec8.exe

On the first page, I selected to do the "Fresh install" (I think was the wording) - did the reboots as requested (once after the uninstall, once after the fresh install), and it's now working fine.

Not sure what the detoured.dll is for exactly, nor why it's being touched by an AMD driver - but I did see it disappear in System32 after the uninstall, and re-appear after the fresh install.

Was having this same problem for a few days, let me list what didn't work.

Reinstalling Steam
Reinstalling AMD Radeon Software
Running CCleaner
Running "regsvr32 /u detoured.dll" in command prompt
Running "sfc /scannow" in command prompt

What eventually happened was that I installed the latest amd software drivers and that fixed the issue.
