I searched “AMDDVR” in registry editor and i found it here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREAMDDVR
If you found it, then click on ToggleRsHotkey registry and modify Alt,R to blank and then restart your computer. Or stop the following processes:
Radeon Settings: Desktop Overlay
Radeon Settings: Host Service
Radeon Settings: Source Extension
Now run AMD software from your start menu, and run a game.
Have a nice day!

I did all this and it still tells tells me ALT-R whenever I start up a game… but it does nothing.
That is so strange. For us it worked like a charm, from the very first try. See if a computer restart changes anything.

It anoyed me because the hotkey popup notification picture locked itself on the screen and never went away when i was gaming. i had to restart the pc to remove it. the hotkey option is a good thing, but i dont need to be told all the time what the hotkey alt+r does.

I don’t game, and I use this computer to write software and instead of saving all the files in Visual Studio, it would try to start some gif or whatever.

This guide did not solve my issue. In-game overlay is “Disabled” and all hot-keys are deleted but all the features are still very much active. Any advice?

Having now disabled shortcuts – my machine keyboard stopped working had to hard reboot to clear – is this software really written that badly!
Thank you for this. I finally was able to unbind all these hotkeys super easy, while disabling other unnecessary (for me) features. Great article.

Thanks for these instructions. The fact that there isn’t a single toggle to globally disable all Radeon Software keyboard shortcuts is beyond assinine.

F*K AMD! No more ATi, bye bye! The latest build of w10 crashed over the crappy driver, now this short key crap.
I understand your frustration, but please be more polite when expressing yourself.

Thank you. I hate this feature and I hate the fact that it was installed without me asking for it and without a real option for disabling it. It’s annoying.

I’m not able to use the shortcuts in Adobe Photoshop because of Radeon hotkeys which is too annoying. I really don’t understand why they make it affect other apps especially something like Adobe PS. Thank you so much for this tutorial, you’re a lifesaver!

I found it annoying because it wasn’t ingame, it showed on my desk top “always on top”, and I could only get rid of it by restarting computer. I did all the things in the article and hope it doesn’t show up again, I have no idea what makes it pop up, If I had to guess it would be after playing a game.

This software is processor heavy enough that it makes my games run worse. There’s no option in the software to close it so you have to use task manager. It’s useless to me. I’m insulted that I’m forced to have it installed to also have amd drivers. It’s barely above spyware.

Because this dumb “RADEON SOFTWARE /nextline PRESS ALT + R TO OPEN” is stuck open for this whole day. 10/10 would buy a different card next time to not deal with this overlay.

The AMD hot keys interfered with other apps that I use; I’m not primarily a gamer, and would like to see a single global off switch for all these. As in, “Allow AMD Radeon Software to use Hotkeys? Yes/no.”

Unbelievable: I use my laptop for work and this forced update brought me to a halt. I use ALT keys in data processing, excel, word docs and I was constantly getting the Radeon pop up. What were they thinking – that no-one has a job anymore? THANK YOU for explaining how to solve this problem.
Disabling was not enough for me. I had to unbind the hotkeys to prevent them from interfering with other programs.

pressing alt-r does nothing at all until you are in game then it freezes the game by removing mouse control.

The hotkeys remain active despite the overlay being disabled and hotkeys disabled.
The AMD software has no ability to remove the media hotkeys or set to NONE.
The software is always listening for those specific hotkeys, and then is delighted to tell you how “disabled” they are, while still blocking the function of hotkeys in the program you intended.
This is a very invasive feature, and leads to constant errors and frustrations while using professional grade software suites, not just gaming.
Fix your shit, AMD.
It would activate accidentally when reloading while playing
The same happened to me too.
I still get that annoying prompt every time a game starts, even though I followed these steps.
Not working. I still get that annoying prompt every time a game starts…..

Thank you so much this was annoying and dissapointing about any software when “IT” knows better how to make you better!
Thank you so much! This has been causing me issues in my MMOs since I downloaded this (I use a bunch of Ctrl+Shift keybinds). You’re a hero 🙂
In v20.9.2 appear and keep blinking making games crash or jitter, this happens in Super Mega Baseball 3
It makes me uncomfortable when I open games in full screen that flashes and makes the game slow for me
ALT-R is the Everquest command for opening the raid interface. Until I found this article I had to log to leave a raid.
To many interferences with other often used apps like photoshop, blender and so on.
my alt button is my push to talk and when i reload at the same time then this overlay show up
It somehow always appears when I just press R, even without pressing the Alt key. Makes it hard to type.
Interferes with work, it’s annoying and frustrating.
It was making games crash more often.
Perfect. Worked for me as the shortcuts where interfering with VS Code!
Happy New Year! 🙂
The shortcuts are annoying because I’m using Eclipse which have the same shortcuts and it’s prevent me from use the good old shortcuts. Thanks
BTW – you don’t must to delete the short-cut. You have an option to disable hot keys using.
