I am using Windows 10 on several PCs (mix of Pro and Enterprise versions, and different versions - as in 1803/1809 - too).
All of them have Intel GPU (built-in) plus an AMD Radeon discrete cards - R9 290, R9 390, RX 480. On just 1 of those 3 PCs, I got this error, once on update to latest GPU-Z version - see attached.
I have been sometimes getting this error previously too, usually again just ONCE per app update and then not anymore until a next version update.

Any ideas why this happens? Can you fix it? :)

Do you have the old GPU-Z running at the same time in background?

No. The install process complained I need to exit the old one, which I did.

I am using Kaspersky Free antivirus, maybe it is blocking the GPU-Z sys file for a bit? (then allowing it maybe?)

Not the same issue at all. For me, error showed from update from older GPU-Z version to newer GPU-Z version.
So, not any Windows 10 update/upgrade issue, at least for me. No NVidia here too, just AMD Radeon everywhere. :)

i too had just updated to the latest GPU-Z and 2 days previous to 1809, once i ran GPU-Z it failed with the exact error -- my fix was to install the lastest NVidia release.

Have you installed the latest Radeon pack for your system? If so then you may need additional help from the dev team.

I do not need any help right now. I just need this bug fixed in a next update. :)
