In addition to that, AMD also implements several new features for Radeon ReLive, Radeon ReLive Game Streaming, Radeon ReLive for VR, AMD Link, Radeon Overlay, Radeon Game Advisor, and several other changes and fixes as highlighted in the Release Notes below.
However, AMD’s 18.12.2 update might still experience a few issues with multiple display configurations, Radeon Overlay, Auto tuning feature, Performance Metrics Overlay, Radeon WattMan, and Scene Editor.

Therefore, remove any previous version present on your computer, save and run the appropriate package for your computer, wait for all files required to be made available, and follow all instructions displayed on the screen for a complete upgrade.
