On the amd side, miners are failing to open that would normally open, because it states "No amd platforms found", even though clinfo list amd as a platform.

Also, some miners, like sgminer and wildrig are failing to shutdown, and lock up. Nvidia side works fine, however.

This is a test rig, I run miners for software development. It only has 1 nvidia card, 1 rx580, and 1 Vega on it.

Removing the vega from the equation- the miner closing issue goes away, but the "no amd platforms found" for ethminer-stlyed miners still exist, when arguments are correct, and amd clinfo command list amd platform.

I have been searching for causes, and it hit me that clinfo prior to having all the problems used to list both platforms. Thats when I realized that the driver installs keep removing the opposite opencl platform on each install, and it didn't before when I remeber the last time everything was working.
