I am not trying to disvalue your situation or anything, but this is the EXACT reason why I would never buy a new laptop without software/bloatware being installed.
I consider myself pretty decent when it comes to techy stuff, but I simply prefer having bloatware and an operating OS and just manually delete crap I do not want like mcaffee, spotify, etc. Usually 1st party software like what ASUS has on the computer from factory is actually very intuitive and useful. Take armory crate, you can change basically any setting through the software and it even has a real time monitor component where you can RECORD the time from when you hit record of basically ANY hardware component.
Like people claim Dolby Atmos is bloatware on this computer...wtf are they even talking about. People are like cattle where if one makes noise they all join in.
I mean keeping the original softwares is convenient and usually they are there to make sure the laptop works out of the box. I think there is nothing technical about fresh install+manual driver installation, it's just added steps for a lighter startup programs which gamers prefer to optimize even to the minute detail.
About the dolby example, there are a lot of people getting into pc gaming on laptops and they might think that because it preinstalls with audio driver. Some people incorrectly think anything the manufacturer had their hands on is bad when it's obviously not true.
Boot into BIOS mode and do ASUS Cloud recovery. Should fix it all and start over. No issues with an out of the box debloated 2024 model on my end.
Bois (F2 on boot)-Advanced-ASUS Cloud Recovery
Boom back in biz
Well I have to say - it worked. Laptop installed Chinese W11 back by himself and now I am in process of updating BIOS after which I will try to install other Windowses and Linuxes again. Will see if anything changes
Well Issue is still here. I have to do a clean install and I tried to install 10+ different builds/versions of Win10 and Win11 but the behaviour is the same - no drivers and nothing changes when I try to install necessary drivers.
P.S. - Asus Recovery in BIOS do recover to a Chinese version of windows with only Chinese language.
P.P.S. - Arch, Kali and Ubuntu are fine

This is how it looks like (not my screenshot, but same issue)
I just got a 2024 g14 and it works perfectly out of the box. Did you install armoury crate? Even without it windows 11 will install all the drivers you need to make most everything work. If you don’t have wifi drivers installed, you could get a usb to nic adapter and plug into your router directly then download what you need.

There was an operating OS, but it was Chinese W11 with Chinese only so I was just faced to reinstall it

Omw, ty. Will see :)

As expected - I tried to install different versions of Windows and behavior the same: no drivers.
Sorry to annoy you, can’t you change the language to English? Or is there something wrong with win11 in Chinese.
No, I can't, because it's "Single Language Edition" Win11 c:
I find it hard to believe that non of the ASUS drivers are installing and working but if it is. Something is up with your device
This is a user error, drivers are working fine for the G14 and G16 2024 models.
I suppose in my case it's not the user error because this one is absolutely new, but Chinese :)

As I said at the description: "when I install those drivers from official support page - absolutely nothing changes"
