Armoury Crate -> Tools -> Driver -> AMD Chipset Driver

I have tried multiple times to install this driver, but every time I install the latest version, after rebooting my computer, Armoury Crate will continue to read "Status: New", "Latest version: 3.10.22.706" and "Current Version: N/A". Otherwise, the computer seems to function properly. Is the driver currently installed? Is there a solution to this or is it a nominal error? Will I be able to update this driver when a new version is released? 

Thank you for your time reading this and please respond if you have a solution or if you are experiencing the same issue.

OS: Windows 11

Baseboard Model: ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (Wi-Fi)

CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X

Agreed. Armory Crate is broken and major background bloatware. Many people who've used it will tell you to get rid of it.

Word of advice if you are interested

Do not use Armoury Crate for anything other than fine tune your ASUS hardware. This means dont update chipset drivers using it.

If your RoG ecosystem is small, 1 or 2 things, you can use third party alternatives. But if you have a full ecosystem like me then you are pretty much stuck with it.

But its all good, the Armoury Crate is flawless, I mean, its source code is from nvidia, and they are perfect!

Asus is several versions behind on their support site.

The latest from AMD is May 2023.

From where may I download the latest stable release? Also, what is the version number? I've attempted to update once again, but "Status, Latest version, Current version" remain unchanged.

I'd uninstall armory crate

Go to AMD.com and install latest AM4 chipset driver

Be sure to update your motherboard's BIOS to latest version too

This, also disable it in the UEFI.

BIOS is currently up to date. I found the Armoury Crate Uninstall Tool located at the link below...
Armoury Crate - Support (asus.com)

Unfortunately, the proposed solution was not effective. "Status", "Latest version" and "Current version" remain unchanged (New, 3.10.22.706, N/A) even after completely uninstalling and reinstalling Armoury Crate.
