What is AMD Error 195?

AMD Error 195 usually pops up during the installation of AMD Adrenalin software. It’s accompanied by a message saying, “AMD software installer cannot continue because it is unable to access the required web resources.” Simply put, the installer can't connect to the necessary online resources.

Why Does This Happen?

Several reasons can cause this error:

• Internet connectivity issues
• Firewall or antivirus settings blocking the installer
• Server-side problems on AMD’s end

How to Fix AMD Error 195

1. Check Your Internet Connection

Make sure your internet is working smoothly. Try opening a web page to see if it loads. If there are issues, troubleshoot your internet connection or contact your ISP.

2. Disable Firewall and Antivirus Temporarily

Your firewall or antivirus software might be blocking the AMD installer. Here’s how to temporarily disable them:

For Windows Defender Firewall:

• Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Defender Firewall
• Click on “Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off” on the left
• Select “Turn off Windows Defender Firewall” for both private and public networks

For Antivirus Software:

• Open your antivirus software
• Find the option to disable it temporarily (usually in settings or options)

Important: Remember to re-enable your firewall and antivirus once the installation is complete!

3. Run the Installer as Administrator

Running the installer with administrative privileges can sometimes bypass restrictions. Right-click the AMD installer and select “Run as administrator.”

4. Use a VPN

If the installer is having trouble accessing web resources due to regional restrictions, using a VPN can help. Connect to a different region and try running the installer again.

5. Check AMD Server Status

Sometimes, the issue is on AMD's end. Check if AMD’s servers are down or experiencing issues. Visit forums or AMD’s official website for any announcements regarding server problems.

6. Download the Latest Installer

Make sure you’re using the latest version of the AMD Adrenalin installer. Visit the official AMD website to download the newest version.
