Poor Wi-Fi connection or slow speeds

Verify that Wi-Fi 6E is enabled in network settings. Restart your router and the laptop. Ensure your router firmware is up to date. Move closer to the router if signal strength is weak.

Screen displays incorrectly or has visual artifacts

Update your graphics drivers from the ASUS support website or NVIDIA's website. Check if NVIDIA G-SYNC is enabled or causing issues in the NVIDIA Control Panel. Ensure the display cable (if using an external monitor) is securely connected.

Performance drops during gaming or demanding tasks

Close unnecessary background applications. Monitor CPU and GPU temperatures using monitoring software; if they are too high, ensure cooling vents are clear and consider using a cooling pad. Update system drivers and Windows.

Audio issues (no sound, distorted sound)

Check that the correct audio output device is selected in Windows sound settings. Update the audio drivers from the ASUS support website. Restart the laptop. Ensure Dolby Atmos settings are configured correctly if applicable.
