Driver from the Asus website does not fix the issue with WLAN! Wi-Fi still not working after installing Win 11 and official drivers
I put a new SSD and when formatting with Windows 10 the wifi did not work, so I put a USB to Ethernet adapter and with Windows updates the correct driver was installed, maybe with Win11 it is the same.

sRGB coverage is a limitation of the hardware. The only thing calibration can do is balance the display if it is skewed towards a certain colour.
why???
