Windows 10: display adapter missing after WIN10 2H22 update

Hello,I have a Razer Blade 15 2018 Advance model laptop with dual display adapters, an intel and nvidia. After a Win11 update last week my pc stopped recognizing the nvidia gpu. I tried updating the driver but the nvidia software kept telling me it couldnt find any compatible display adapter. So, I reset my Win11 and suddenly the nvidia card showed back up and worked fine. Then I ran the windows update and again, the gpu went missing. I decided maybe this was a Win11 issue so did a complete wipe and fresh recovery, which took me back to Win10. The nvidia gpu showed up and worked fine, then aft
