Chipset Drivers post Windows 11 upgrade Fix

I wanted to post this here for everyone. So I did a Windows 11 upgrade yesterday to 22h2 (beta) from Windows 10 21h2 release. All my AMD stuff got messed up. It's like Microsoft made it so AMD upgrades would go bad....... So I tried to remove it all and install it again.

I uninstalled the Ryzen Master software with no issue.

I updated my Radeon from 22.4.2 to 22.5.1 with a clean install, which failed. However, after a reboot and second run, this was successful. Note a clean install wasn't an option for the second run.

The hardest part was the chipset drivers. I couldn't uninstall or install them. I'd get pop-ups telling me about the installation options for each program. The problem is both the installer and uninstaller are looking in the wrong location. They would be looking for example at \Binares\SMBus Driver\W11x64\SMBUSamd.inf. However, there is no "W11x64". The folder the installer is calling is "WTx64" I don't have a screenshot, but it would pop up multiple times, and show something like what I have below:

I've tried the Microsoft Troubleshooter https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-r... and that did nothing to help. My solution was the following:

-Delete my c:\AMD folder completely
-Reboot
-Run the Microsoft troubleshooter https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-r...
-Press OK through the uninstall errors.
-Finish the uninstallation
-Confirm c:\amd is still missing, and if not, delete it again
-Install the current shipset drivers
-Reboot

Success!!

FYI, got an Asus B550 motherboard with a Ryzen r7-3700x and Radeon 5700 (non-xt) video card.
