Check which version of Windows you have, type winver into search box and make sure you are using the latest October 20H2 update.
It is, there's no updates for Windows when you run Windows Update either, not to mention the previously installed drivers no will not install again throwing the same message.
Hey I'm not ragging on AMD, but I never EVER had this with any Intel rigs, to the point it looks like I need to reinstall Windows after a week of having the machine.

uninstall the driver
clean pc with ccleaner or just wipe the contents of the temp folder
clean windows update folder also delete all contents (run windows diskcleanup)
reboot
run sfc /scannow
run dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
reboot
run windows update again to check for updates
install latest driver package.
probably don't need to do all of these steps but they could help. I've been on an X370 board and now an x570 and I've not had a single issue updating anything. I do find sometimes that Windows update can cause corrupted files so running sfc and/or dism can help.

System Restored to a image at 4:40pm today, so all is working.
I did just run the updated driver over the top of the old one and it installed fine.
Did that because nothing happened when I tried to uninstall the driver, it just sat there.
Or should I try uninstalling again to start it fresh?

Youre absolutely right about this.
Not sure how i missed this.
I too missed this a while ago, I reinstalled the chipset drivers multiple times as I couldn't find the ryzen power profiles. Then I learned that these chips no longer need them due too the core layouts now being 8 core CCX designs, and there is virtually no core hopping anymore with the older 4 core CCX designs.
Can't install them on my x570 Dark Hero/5900x, previous version was fine.
Keeps telling me I need a system update even though my windows is completely up to date.
Getting the same error with the previous version now too.
First dive into AMD and now issues with a simple chipset driver update.
Check which version of Windows you have, type winver into search box and make sure you are using the latest October 20H2 update.
I have a 3700x. Should I be using Windows power profiles these days then or still use Ryzen balanced? Thanks!
1000, 2000, 3000, desktop and laptop CPU's should all be using the Ryzen Balanced profile for the best performance.
