Black screen in windows 11

It started two days ago I believe, I was playing a game and when I was done I restarted my laptop. After it booted to windows there was nothing on screen, Primary display was just black, and the tv I had my laptop connected to didn't seem to have any signal from the laptop. I booted into safe mode (with networking) to uninstall the last driver and to download the latest driver for my system. After rebooting again, I went to install the driver and as soon as it finished (I believe) the screen kinda just went back to black. So I dunno what to do really. The only way I can get anything on screen to show is by using Microsoft's basic display adapter driver.

System is a ''Hp Notebook G7 255''

Ryzen 3200u with Vega 3 graphics. 2 4gb sticks at 3200mhz

So i did a clean install of win10, installed drivers from amd's site, same issue. I checked device manger after booting back into normal and checked the events and it gives the following:
-------------

Device PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_15D8&SUBSYS_85EA103C&REV_C4\4&35feb52a&0&0041 had a problem starting.

Driver Name: oem38.inf
Class Guid: {4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
Service: amdwddmg
Lower Filters:
Upper Filters:
Problem: 0x0
Problem Status: 0xC00000E5
----------------------
Im guessing somethings either preventing it from starting, or it could be dead, and I'm really hoping it isn't the latter.
Gonna check up on the status codes and i will try to follow up with it

So i decided to track where this issue was coming from, went to 
C:\AMD\AMD-Software-Adrenalin-Edition-22.9.2-Win10-Win11-Sep27\Packages\Drivers\Display\WT6A_INF\
and found this inf file

I opened it in notepad and searched for amdwddmg, and found a reg entry here

i don't wanna touch anything here without any help since, I'm not entirely familiar with reg entries, and things relating to this, so i wanted to ask about what some of these do, and if it's a possible i can make changes here to potentially fix my problem. (Mind you, I'm back on win 10 now, AND this is a really old driver from 2022, which i tried only because i wanted to see if downgrading would help at all)

SMALL EDIT BECAUSE I FORGOT TO MENTION:
That error code i gave in the last reply apparently means some application didn't start, or the service, so i guess i need to find what it's linked to directly maybe?

I don't know why I didn't check but under the amdwddmg folder in registry but, there are three subfolders, ENUM, Parameters, and Video


This is under Enum

This is under Parameters

and this is under Video

I'm unsure if these are that important, aside from video and parameters maybe, but leaving these here anyway.

So the error went away, but when i enabled the enabled the gpu and restarted, i got the black screen again. 
Is there any other problems that could cause it? Or could the igpu just be dead for me?
