Usually it's because you have the wrong driver, and you haven't downloaded the latest one from the AMD site (it's never going to try to replace it if you have the latest one.)

Actually you are SERIOUSLY incorrect as I have an Acer aspire 515-43 as my second laptop to my Nitro 5 and if I download the latest ryzen drivers from the site everything is absolutely perfect and I can customise the gaming graphics perfectly but Microsoft Windows 11 update keeps downloading the micro drivers which totally destroys the whole ryzen installation and then I get the splash screen from rise and saying that the current drivers are incompatible and I need to do a complete hard reset and so I go back to ryzen and I download the correct drivers for my system and everything is tickety boo and then 5 minutes later Microsoft come up with this stupid update of micro drivers and destroy the whole installation yet again and there is absolutely no way to stop it.
May I also say I had the same as you on an old HP laptop with AMD drivers where Microsoft words download the incorrect drivers but on that installation I could at least hide the updates but on Windows 11 it is absolutely insane that it muscles it's way into my system and totally destroys the graphics drivers. This needs to be brought to the attention of whoever is in charge of this insane update for Microsoft products, all spoken with warm respect but full-on 100% frustration at people who think they know everything.
