Onboard Wi-Fi Hardware Missing / Driver Failing to Install – TUF GAMING B550-PLUS WIFI

I recently bought a brand-new TUF GAMING B550-PLUS WIFI motherboard, but Windows cannot recognize or initialize the onboard Wi-Fi hardware.
Troubleshooting steps I have already tried:

  1. I downloaded the official Wireless driver from the ASUS support page and extracted the ZIP file.
  2. I tried running AsusSetup.exe as an Administrator, but no installation window or prompt opens.
  3. I tried a manual installation via Device Manager by choosing "Browse my computer for drivers" and pointing it directly to the extracted driver folder. Windows fails and gives the error: "Windows could not find drivers for your device."
