- Ok-Horse-3169 reported on the Zephyrus G14 subreddit that Windows 11 removed the GPU drivers from a ROG Zephyrus G14 after 15 days in eco mode.
- The mode reportedly disconnects the discrete GPU from the PCIe bus, allowing the pnpclean.dll maintenance process to treat it as missing after a timeout; the default is 30 days, while the reported device had a 15-day setting.
- After switching to the standard power mode, the GPU was reportedly listed as a Basic Display Adapter, and Nvidia Control Panel did not recognize it.
- As possible remedies, the user recommends periodically using a non-eco power plan or disabling driver cleanup through the Autorun registry value under Device Driver Packages.
