I just reinstalled Windows 11, but I'm not seeing any driver or security updates appearing. For example, the NVIDIA graphics driver isn't showing up, and my display is stuck at 60Hz. What should I do to fix this?

You should check the manufacturer's website to download the GPU driver directly from Intel, AMD, or NVIDIA. Sometimes, Windows doesn’t automatically install the latest drivers after a clean install, so downloading it manually might be necessary.

It sounds like you did a clean install, which is good, but there could be a few reasons why you're not seeing updates. Sometimes, updates can take a little while—Windows might still be working in the background, like encrypting your hard drive. You can check this in the Task Manager. If you go to Device Manager (using WinKey+X, then M), see if your graphics/video adapter has a newer driver version. If it's using something outdated, you might want to hold off for a bit before searching for updates yourself.

Interestingly, if you don't see a graphics or video adapter in Device Manager, that could be a sign that your graphics driver isn't installed properly. If that's the case, you might want to check to see if Windows is recognizing your GPU at all.
