Windows 10: Nvidia graphic card not showing in device manager

When I checked my BIOS, it showed both my integrated GPU and my dedicated Nvidia 3050, thus I'm not able to download Nvidia drivers anymore because the downloader says there is no Nvidia graphics card identified. I'm not interested in using a Microsoft Remote GPU Adapter. I browsed over every webpage and they are all out of

NVIDIA Graphics Card not showing up in device manager.

I recently purchased an ASUS Laptop with an RTX 3050 TI and for the first day it worked fine, but the drivers on GeForce experience were really outdated so I tried updating them to the latest version, but after that, it disappeared from the device manager and just stopped working.

Things I have tried:

Show hidden devices, it's not there.

Resetting the PC but it's still not there even after resetting.

Download the drivers again but I can't install them because NVIDIA doesn't recognize the graphics card.

Setting the BIOS settings to optimized default.

Note;

The graphics card is recognized in the BIOS just not in windows device manager, task manager and such.
