PC Drivers & Software

Hello,
About my Laptop:
MSI Alpha 15 B5EEK
GPU - RX 6600M
CPU - Ryzen 7 5800H
RAM - 40 GB
OS - Windows 11

I bought it a year ago with pre installed Windows. It was working fine. Then I wanted to switch to Linux, so erased Windows completely and installed Ubuntu 22.04, but later I came to know that RX 6600M does not support Linux.

So I had to delete Ubuntu and do a fresh install of Windows 11. I did and everything was working fine.

But when I tried to connect to a second monitor, it didn't work. So I checked Device Manager, Task Manager, 3rd Party Softwares, but nothing detected my dedicated GPU. Everything shows that only my iGPU but not the dedicated GPU. 

I followed the forum solutions, articles and tried to fix it for the past 5 days. No luck. 

I tried,
> Installing new and old drivers
> Completely remove using DDU and reinstalled (normal and safe mode)
> Installing 3rd party drivers
> Update Chipset driver
> Manually download and update drivers
> Driver from MSI site
> Driver from AMD site
> Updated my firmware
> Reinstalled Windows 11 around 10-15 times
> Checked with Hidden Devices in Device Manager
> Updates Windows 11 to the latest version

No solution worked for me.
I am not able to play any game, connect to my second monitor using HDMI.
My warranty period ended 2 months ago.
Service center guys too didn't know how to fix it.

So I feel like I'm stuck. Can't use linux. Can't use dedicated GPU. Any help would be really appreciated.

I had Omen 16 (Ryzen 9 5900HX, 16 GB of memory, Radeon RX 6600M) 

idk if this going to work, but it was my last best shot :

*be sure you have already download your driver from your laptop manufacturer first 

1. Install win 10, after that don't let it connect to any network/internet

2. disable any windows/driver update immediately , see here

3. Install your driver

4. Pray

5. Restart your PC

if it works good, wait a whole day or three day, still working? good. Make a restore point.

sometimes ddu just don't help (in my case) 

** some tried to suggest installing the PRO version of the driver but it just don't work for me, maybe try that first and see what happen

In my case im already giving up completely. The driver was constantly crash. I did replace the board when i was still have that warranty period now it wont work again. I guess it bad batch on the gpu and there is nothing youncan do about it. If you still have warranty try to replace it, maybe you have better luck than i do. $1000+ laptop shouldnt have this issue.
