    lol same thing happened to me as a last resort you can extract the package and install the INF manually: Device Manager > Update driver > Browse my computer > Let me pick > Have Disk, or pnputil /add-driver <path>\*.inf /install 🙏 if the INF doesnt list your hardware ID, tho, dont force it. worked for me anyway 🤷

    I wouldn't force an INF that doesn't list your hardware ID. Even if it installs, hybrid graphics switching can break.
