Detailed description：
Build: FX506 - i5-11400H - 16GB RAM - RTX3050i
Since the very first moment with this laptop (27.07.2022) I experience the issue that when I update the GPU driver, it caps the GPU clock at 210MHz.
Only solution is to delete the driver from Device Manager and let Windows update it automatically.
In that case it updates to 512.78 version.
In some cases that is not compatible with latest games/softwares and that is why it is really frustrating.
It is now version 526.98 but issue still not fixed.
Tried both on Win11 x64 and Win10 x64. Issue is the same.
I am really looking forward for solution for this issue as this is a gaming laptop from 2021 which MUST have latest driver support.

Thank you in advance.

I literally tried EVERYTHING for months... Nothing helped ... Than I had enough and contacted the local (Hungary) ASUS service through ASUS support. They fixed it by replacing motherboard. Everything is working perfectly now.

Is the laptop model you are using also FX506HEB?
If yes, what are the BIOS version, operating system build version, graphics card driver version, and Armoury Crate version you are currently using?
Sorry for any inconvenience it may be caused.

I have exactly the same issue. The last working nvidia graphic driver was 512.95 for me. Anything never version puts my GPU to idle mode, so the gpu clock stays at 210MHz.
