Windows 10: Generic PnP

ok so I've been gaming for a while on my Alienware Aurora R8 and I have an asus gaming monitor, and I've been going to the advanced display setting to get my 144hz but all I saw was "Generic PnP" and it was capped out at 60hz. I've looked on multiple forums and tried every recommended option but I'm still left with Generic PnP. So I an expensive monitor that is underperforming at the moment.

Generic PNP monitor

Hello,

I use a CAD program that apparently has a problem with my ASUS 4K monitor. Seems I've tried every which way to get Window to recognize my monitor but, all I get is . . generic PnP monitor with an old 2006 driver. I've downloaded the current monitor
but, Windows won't use it.

Gone through a number of help suggestions including disconnecting the monitor, reconnecting, re-starts, delete driver, re-install . . .llllllll

Any advice would be most welcome.

Thanks,

Tom
