I did this and it worked for a while however it happened again suddenly after a month or so of working

That’s usually because Windows decided to “update” you to older drivers. Which is really annoying. Update to the latest drivers again:
Download and install GFX_win_101.4146.exe from Intel® Arc™ & Iris® Xe Graphics - WHQL - Windows*

If Windows continues to downgrade your drivers, let me know. There’s a couple things we can try to get it to stop doing that.
