[2021] [Performance]Constantly Need to Reinstall Vulkan

What I do is that I simply download AMD's driver update software and let it reinstall everything for my CPU, and after this I can play the game with Vulkan... for a while.

Sometimes it takes a couple of day, but inevitabely, the game will simply refuse to start with Vulkan and give me the aftorementioned error.
If I repeat the process of AMD driver reinstallation, Siege works flawlessly for as long as I'm playing it, but eventually, I'll have to repeat the process.
Also, this happens with Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, but that game runs awfully with Vulkan so I don't really care, but you should

To clarify, I have Nvidia GPU (RTX 3070) and keep those drivers up-to date. I only need to download and (re)install the CPU (Ryzen 7 5800H) related drivers to fix this issue.
It is also worth mentioning that I was able to play other Vulkan titles like "Detroit: Become Human" (which runs exclusively on Vulkan) on Steam while Siege was unable to find compatible driver/hardware.

Perhaps you could help me with some additional issues?

1. Shift + F2 isn't working either (it's not the "F" keys since Alt+F4 works just fine)
2. When Siege launches, ESC isn't working. I have to alt+tab out of the game and go back to it to make temporarily fix it. Further alt+tabbing sometimes mekes it come back.
3. Nvidia Shadowplay overlay is not working now either. I can no longer record my gameplay and check those suspicious kill cams.

Not that I'm saying that they're not going to do anything with it, just that whenever it comes to submitting dxdiag or following some premade technical troubleshooters, it only turns out to be a waste of time. Thanks anyway.
