Describe the Bug
Sunshine crashes during Windows startup, triggering an AMD graphics driver crash or timeout. As a result, Sunshine enters a non-functional state: streaming is not possible, the host appears "offline", and the configuration web interface is inaccessible.
Workaround: Manually closing Sunshine from the system tray and restarting it via sunshine.exe restores full functionality. Disabling Sunshine's autostart also prevents the AMD driver crash/timeout from occurring.
Expected Behavior
- Working sunshine with autostart
- No AMD graphics driver crash/timeout
Additional Context
- The issue does not occur when using AMD driver version 23.3.1.
- I have also reported the issue to AMD.
- I’ve tested different display configurations, but the issue persists.

I was trying to hunt down why I got a driver timeout nearly every boot, and I think this is why. I have Sunshine installed, but don't frequently use it (looks like I'm a few versions behind at 0.21.0). Same thing though where the web interface doesn't load until I restart.
You're 8 versions and 2 years behind. Please update as there have been several security fixes since then.
I also have this same issue. Only difference is I'm using a 9070xt. Latest drivers, bios and software updates. Happens with Sunshine and other forks.
Same problem here with an RX 9070 XT. It’s a brand-new build, and I initially thought I had a faulty GPU. However, the problem completely disappears after uninstalling Sunshine.
Is this a duplicate of https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/issues/4139?
I'm also using an RX 9070 XT and noticed the same issue.
~~Going into services.msc and setting the Sunshine service to Delayed start fixed the issue for me. Now I get no AMD errors and sunshine launches as it should.~~
Edit 1: Setting the service to "Delayed start" only seems to work sometimes but not always for me. I have now changed it to "Manual" startup and made a task in Task scheduler to start it up a few min after boot instead. So far no issues...
Edit 2: Adding onto my workaround above, disabling "Fast startup" in Windows seemed to fix the issue even after a regular shutdown, not just reboot
我也在使用 RX 9070 XT，并注意到了同样的问题。
~进入 services.msc 并将 Sunshine 服务设置为延迟启动为我解决了这个问题。现在我没有收到 AMD 错误，并且阳光会按应有的方式发射。~
编辑 1：将服务设置为“延迟启动”似乎只是有时有效，但对我来说并不总是有效。我现在已将其更改为“手动”启动，并在任务计划程序中执行任务，以便在启动后几分钟启动它。到目前为止没有问题......
编辑 2：添加到我上面的解决方法中，即使在定期关闭后，在 Windows 中禁用“快速启动”似乎也能解决问题，而不仅仅是重新启动
你是最正确的 什么都不用设置 只要禁用快速启动就能完全解决问题 十分感谢
I have the same issue - at startup I have an error report from AMD drivers that there was a timeout or crash, the sunshine service is running but the web UI is unavailable and I can't create a stream connection. Restarting the service fixes the issue. Tried to set the service to delayed start but didn't help so I'm trying the workaround from @krofinzki Sunshine version: 2025.924.154138 CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D GPU: AMD RX 9060 TX, AMD driver version 25.11.1
