Describe the Bug

After upgrading to a new PC with an AMD 9700 CPU and Radeon 9070 XT GPU, I’m encountering a consistent issue with Sunshine:

​Failure after full shutdown​ When I perform a full shutdown and power on the system, Sunshine ​fails to start/work​ automatically. 2.Works with manual restart or system reboot​ If I ​manually restart Sunshine​ from the system tray → select "Restart", it functions correctly.

If I ​reboot the system​ (not shutdown → power on) when the issue occurs, Sunshine works normally.

​All Logs:​​ 1.After full shutdown + power on (failure)

2.After manually restarting Sunshine via system tray (success)

3.After testing with latest pre-release 2025.806.175625 → full shutdown + power on (still fails)

My computer is intel 265k+9070xt and I am also experiencing this issue.

After reinstall sunshine and testing with latest pre-release 2025.829.135256 → full shutdown + power on logs: sunshine.log

@flppt @shichao402 by any chance, do you also get a warning from AMD Adrenaline about driver timeouts right after logging into your desktop after a full shutdown?

I'm experiencing this from time to time, and the only fix I’ve found is completely uninstalling Sunshine. I also have a RX 9070 XT.

yes

Same here, sometimes I get an error message from AMD Adrenaline, telling me about timeouts (which I didn't notice at all, neither during boot nor during the last boot) and I'm then unable to connect to Sunshine anymore. Restarting Sunshine fxes that problem. 9070xt and latest Adrenaline drivers.

我也是9700X 加9070XT 一模一样的问题

把快速启动关了就好了

[shichao402]

Hey guys, recently I found that everything is back to normal. Now, even if I start the computer after a long time, Sunshine launches properly. It seems I didn't do anything specific. Here is my current environment status, hope it helps you.

​Current Setup:​​

Windows version: Windows 11, 24H2, 26100.6584

AMD driver version: 25.9.1

Sunshine: 2025.814.234924

​Previous Setup:​​

Windows 11, 24H2, 26100.4652

AMD driver version: 25.8.1

Sunshine: v2025.628.4510

should i close this issue?

[dizzie1g]

Why would you close it? its an obvious issue which i'm personally also having to deal with, restarting everytime i boot my pc is a pain in the ass

Why would you close it? its an obvious issue which i'm personally also having to deal with, restarting everytime i boot my pc is a pain in the ass你为什么要关闭它？这明明是个很明显的问题，我自己也遇到了，每次开机都要重启，真是烦死了。

Ha, you're right.

Also, I believe I provided sufficient information about the entire process from when the issue appeared until it disappeared, even though I did nothing during that period—just kept sunshine, system and amd driver always updated. For your reference.

I also have a 9700X + 9070XT, and I can't even get Sunshine to start. After installing and opening Sunshine, there's no response, and I can't access it through the default port either.
