New October Update problems Asus Rog Ally Z1 extreme.
A week or two ago the updates came in,
I went and allowed the updates unknowingly that this was a huge mistake.
The device restarted and Armoury crate asked for the usual settings and I put back my settings just as before the update.
Again another restart as normal.
I went to play a game and within 3 min the entire device froze and was emitting a buzzing sound and I had to force shutdown.
Started the game again thinking it was just a bug.
The game froze this time within a few minutes and again I had to force shutdown.
I turned off Armoury crate updates and MyAsus software updates too.
Used the DDU tool to uninstall adrenaline and drivers and went back to an old driver I've backed up.
Tried a game again and you guessed it same thing happened.
I uninstalled all drivers related to the human interface in the device manager and restarted.
Tried a game and it freezes and it reboots the device again on its own.
Thinking it has to be Bios related now.
The latest bios is 343 so I drop it to 342.
Then in windows I disabled the firmware update in device manager.
I made sure to load the bios defaults.
After all this I played a game and I had more than 40min before the same thing happened the game froze and I had to force shut down.
I backed up everything and I'm just going to Cloud recovery and start from scratch.
Allow all the updates and test one game and see what happens.
A few days later I had time to do just that
All was done I allowed the My Asus and Armoury crate to run as normal
I tried a game and you guessed it, Crashed again.
I did the cloud recovery again and this time I blocked all updates for windows.
Then I downloaded the oldest drivers from Asus for the Rog ally.
And blocked the My Asus and Armoury crate from installing updates.
And installed a game and it worked for a few days.
I hoped it was back to normal and thankfully I had all my files saved to another drive.
No crashes, no issues.
I slowly allowed Windows updates and kept the My Asus Armoury crate from downloading drivers.
It was nice while it lasted.
On the fourth day I got a hypervisor error.
The only update was a .Net framework update, And it snowballed from there
Uninstalled the .net framework didn't help. the issues continued.
Then I used the restore health cmd too. But nothing worked.
Windows would just freeze after boot.
This weekend I'm going to bypass the cloud recovery and install an older win 11 from a usb directly and install the oldest drivers and software possible and see where things go.
It's so strange. It has worked normally since I got it even when it updated I never had issues.
Has anyone had similar issues.
