This is really a strange one.
I have this ASUS Laptop ROG Zephyrus m15 with a GTX 1660 Ti in it. The default driver it comes with is quite old (430.58), but it works fine. (Although Adobe Premiere says it's too old and unsupported - which can be quite an inconvenience).
So of course I want to update the driver.
But when I update the driver to a newer version, the HDMI port doesn't work properly anymore at 4k60. Which is problematic since I use an external ASUS VP28UQG 4K monitor.
Windows act like the display is connected and working. It shows up in the display control panel. The Nvidia control panel can see the monitor just fine too. But the monitor acts like no signal is detected.
Things I noted:
Does anyone experienced something similar to this? Obviously, there is something happening on the software front because it works fine when setting it up from the Asus provided driver (using their setup.bat file). The problem is that this driver is quite old and I'd like to update it.
Am I stuck with this old driver? Or stuck using my 4K monitor in 1440p or 4K30?

Things I noted:
- If I change the refresh rate, let's say to 30hz and back again to 60hz, then the monitor starts working again. But once I reboot, it reverts to its non-working state, and I have to change refresh rate again for it to start working.
- If I turn monitor completely off and back on, it work sometimes.
- If I set up a lower resolution, or if I use 4K30, then no problem at all. It displays fine after a reboot and work perfectly as it should. Problem only happens if monitor is set to 4K60
- If I reinstall the ASUS-provided driver (430.58) through their setup program, it starts working again normally at 4k60. But if I re-install the same version directly from the Nvidia install program (instead of using their setup.bat), it doesn't work and have the same problems.
- Checked with different HDMI cables. No difference.
- Checked with different inputs on monitor. No difference.
- Did a clean install of the newer driver. No difference.
- Tried installing new drivers without HDMI monitor plugged in. No difference when I plug it back in.
