Hi allenchan8888,

Thank you for the update. Can you please try using the driver from your OEM as they are much more suitable and customized for your system ASUS ExpertCenter PN64-E1. You can also try performing Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) or Clean Installation.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you.

Best regards,

go to device manager, find iris.. go to properties, then drivers..

below you see "return to previous driver",

win11 doesnt want to do that but you must continue..

you will see that driver will become updated with the latest driver..

in fact win11 wants to protect the driver win update has installed..

in fact previous driver is the latest driver

yesterday I ran win24h2 repair software for an issue, I have seen that my iris driver return back to 2016.

win11 is behaving abnormal with 24H2
