AMD Gaming Evolved "another raptr desktop app is already running" error

I'm using Windows 10 64 bit. After installing AMD Gaming Evolved software it starts "raptr.exe" at background. However GUI (AMD Gaming Evolved Window) does not appear. If you start the application again, it throws an error  "another raptr desktop app is already running"

The solution is disable and enable network interface as shown in the screenshot.


 Right click on Network icon on system tray and Open Network and Sharing Center. "Click change adapter settings"






Disable and Enable Ethernet interface












AMD Gaming Evolved Appears.




Since this is a solution for this bug, you have to follow these steps everytime before game starts. This is boring. You can automate these actions with a batch script as follows.

Copy and paste following commands to a notepad and save as "autostart.bat"

@echo off
:: BatchGotAdmin (Run as Admin code starts)
REM --> Check for permissions
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"
REM --> If error flag set, we do not have admin.
if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (
echo Requesting administrative privileges...
goto UACPrompt
) else ( goto gotAdmin )
:UACPrompt
echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
"%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
exit /B
:gotAdmin
if exist "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ( del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" )
pushd "%CD%"
CD /D "%~dp0"
:: BatchGotAdmin (Run as Admin code ends)
:: Your codes should start from the following line
netsh interface set interface "Ethernet" admin=disable

netsh interface set interface "Ethernet" admin=enable


You should change "Ethernet" with your Interface Name.

Then start "task scheduler"

Click create task.



Check "Run with highest privileges".



















Trigger "At logon"


















Click edit trigger and set delay for 1 minute









Select the batch file you've just created


















That's all. After each start of Windows, it will disable-enable your ethernet interface. This will start the GUI of AMD Gaming Evolved application.

Hope this helps !
