The issue can be related to a problem with AMD graphics and could be resolved by updating the drivers.
You can check your version by opening AMD Radeon Software (AMD Adrenalin) and see if any updates are available.
If you don't have this software or want to update to the latest version, please visit https://www.amd.com/en/support and download and install the auto detect tool.

Once installed (reboot could be required), you have the latest version.
If your AMD hardware is too old (e.g. designed for windows 7 or earlier), your version will remain 21.5.2 (running in legacy mode).
If that is the case, the drivers are no longer maintained by AMD and we have no workaround available. If that is the case, please consider replacing your hardware with a more modern system.
