Redditor finds Windows has wiped their gaming laptop GPU drivers, and it's all down to eco mode
A user of an Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 gaming laptop reported that Windows automatically uninstalled their Nvidia GPU drivers after the system was left in eco mode for an extended period. This occurred because Windows identified the disconnected GPU as an unused device and purged its drivers, forcing a manual reinstallation. The issue appears to be related to Windows' 'pnpclean.dll' task and a default timeout setting.
