Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

First make sure your laptop is on the latest BIOS version. You can use the serial number or the SKU to narrow down the support page for your laptop. Following the BIOS, check and see what OS version you're on. You should ideally be on version 21H1. You can then use DDU to uninstall your GPU drivers, then manually source the latest GPU drivers from support page of your laptop or Nvidia and Intel. Mind you, you'll need to download the drivers onto your laptop's storage first. then manually reinstall said GPU drivers, in a elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>run as Administrator.

I checked the GPU drivers all are updated and no errors on that
