AMD uploaded the Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.5.1 drivers, you can grab them
over here if you prefer a manual download. This is the official unified driver for the firm's discrete video cards and APUs, it adds support for the Raven Ridge desktop APUs. The 18.5.1 release adds final support for Microsoft PlayReady 3.0, but only for Radeon RX 400 and 500 series video cards. Vega owners are still out of luck. Additionally, this version also has performance optimizations for Ancestors Legacy and a couple of bug fixes.
