[Documentation] VDD conflicts with GPU driver updates - causes black screen on boot

[clickwithclark]

The Problem

I ran into a pretty nasty issue today that I think deserves a warning in the docs. After updating my AMD chipset drivers, my system wouldn't boot properly - just a black screen. Turns out VDD (which I'd installed months ago) was conflicting with the update.

What Actually Happened

I was doing my usual GPU driver update routine, but this time I also updated chipset drivers first. Right after the chipset installation:

• Screen flashed a few times
• Desktop icons disappeared
• Everything looked zoomed in and misplaced
• Got a restart prompt, but the dialog box was positioned completely off-screen
• Could barely see a tiny preview when hovering over the taskbar
• Couldn't interact with anything (spacebar/enter didn't work)
• Screen went black

After a hard restart, I was stuck at a black screen on every boot attempt.

The Fix

Booted into Safe Mode and uninstalled driver software and VDD. Problem solved immediately. Windows was defaulting to the virtual display instead of my physical monitor, which is why everything was inaccessible,

Why This Matters

This was genuinely scary to troubleshoot. I thought I'd bricked something with the chipset update and almost went down the Windows reinstall route. The connection to VDD wasn't obvious at all since I installed it months ago for a completely different purpose.

System Info

• Motherboard: MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI
• CPU: Ryzen 7 5700X3D
• GPU: RX 7800 XT
• What triggered it: AMD Adrenalin driver update

Documentation Suggestion

Would be really helpful to add a warning section about this. Something like:

Key points to cover:

• Uninstall VDD before major chipset or GPU driver updates
• How to recover if you're already stuck (Safe Mode steps)
• Why this happens (display priority gets scrambled during updates)

I can draft up the actual README addition if that's helpful. Just wanted to flag this since it seems like the kind of edge case that could bite a lot of people who installed VDD once and forgot about it.

Thanks a lot for your software, it is part of 2 part solution that really saves my hide!
