    Did you try Browse your computer and let me pick from a list?

    What happens if you remove device and then rescan for hardware?

    Removed several times and each time wont find a driver

    Funny it was only supposed to update if you checked for updates. Did you check for updates last week?

    I've seen info in threads that Windows is enforcing Drivers to be signed so that explains that issue. You should report on Feedback hub. This is not gospel, you can search google as I will. This was for 1809 and I'm unable to locate authoritative article.

    Could you do this please.

    Right click Start, click Device Manager, right click device you are having issue with, click “Properties”, click on “Details” tab, in “Property” box use the drop down to select “Hardware IDs”, copy and paste first line in “Value” box to Google. Google can usually tell you what device driver you are looking for.

    If you post here maybe someone can find signed driver.

    So you are on 1803 and it won't accept driver.

    I couldn't find anything about Windows enforcing drivers to be signed so I struck that in previous post. I know I read it somewhere but it was for 1809.

    You could try one of those third party driver shops. One post by a member I respect mentioned DriverMax. Other members may recommend another site.

    There are ways to bypass driver signing but I do not think I would use those yet. If you think it is update related you could remove and test. I would be on Asus's case. Are you a member of their forums, other Zenbooks must be experiencing.

    Do you have a restore point you could fall back on or better yet a system image.
