AMD Phoenix Driver Pack - Windows Server 2025

Complete AMD driver package (GPU + Audio + NPU) for Windows Server 2025 with AMD Phoenix APU.

Problem

AMD does not officially support Windows Server 2025 for the Phoenix (Radeon 780M) integrated GPU. The official driver INF only targets ProductType=1 (Workstation), causing Windows Server (ProductType=3) to fall back to the generic "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter". Audio and NPU devices also remain without drivers.

What This Does

This installer automatically:

  • Patches the AMD GPU driver INF to add Windows Server support (NTamd64.10.0.3..16299 sections)
  • Creates a self-signed certificate and signs the driver catalog
  • Automatically installs Windows SDK + WDK if needed (for signtool and inf2cat)
  • Installs all AMD drivers: GPU, Audio, NPU, and Pluton

Included Drivers

Device Hardware ID Driver Version
AMD Radeon(TM) 780M PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_15BF&SUBSYS_15BF1002&REV_D2 GPU Display 32.0.12030.9
AMD Audio CoProcessor PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_15E2 ACP Bus + AFD Audio 6.0.0.100
NPU Compute Accelerator PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_1502 AMD NPU MCDM 32.0.203.231
Microsoft Pluton ACPI\MSFT0200 Pluton Null Driver 1.0.0.2

Installation

Quick Install

  1. Download all zip files from the latest release
  2. Extract them so the folder structure looks like below
  3. Double-click Install.bat (auto-elevates to admin)
  4. First run: will enable test signing and reboot
  5. After reboot: run Install.bat again → all drivers install automatically

Manual Install

# Run as Administrator
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File Install.ps1

What the Installer Does (Step by Step)

  1. Enables bcdedit /set testsigning on and nointegritychecks on
  2. Creates a self-signed code signing certificate ("AMD Driver Test")
  3. Installs Windows SDK (signtool) and WDK (inf2cat) via winget
  4. Generates driver catalog with inf2cat
  5. Signs all catalog files with the self-signed certificate
  6. Installs GPU driver → AMD Radeon(TM) 780M
  7. Installs Audio drivers → AMD ACP Bus + AFD
  8. Installs NPU driver → AMD Compute Accelerator
  9. Installs Pluton null driver (optional, may not work on Server)

Requirements

  • Windows Server 2025 (Build 26100)
  • AMD Phoenix APU (Radeon 780M / 760M)
  • Administrator privileges
  • Internet connection (first run only - for SDK/WDK download)
  • winget package manager

Notes

  • Test signing will be enabled. A "Test Mode" watermark may appear on the desktop.
  • The ACPI\MSFT0200 (Microsoft Pluton) device may remain with an error on Server — this is expected and non-critical.
  • GPU driver is from AMD Software PRO Edition (October 2024), patched to support Server ProductType.
  • Audio and NPU drivers are officially signed by Microsoft WHCP — no patching needed for those.

Tested On

  • Windows Server 2025 Standard (Build 26100)
  • AMD Phoenix APU with Radeon 780M integrated graphics
  • Hetzner bare-metal server
