Foundry Local 0.10.3 does not detect AMD Ryzen AI NPU or register VitisAIExecutionProvider on HP OMEN 16

[DanaS4F]

Problem

I am using an HP OMEN 16-xf0017ax with an AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS, AMD Radeon 780M iGPU, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, and an AMD Ryzen AI NPU.

I installed Foundry Local 0.10.3 for Windows x64 (WinML). Foundry Local detects and starts normally, but it does not show any NPU models.

Running:

foundry model ls --device npu

returns an empty table with no NPU models.

I also checked the Foundry cache. The server downloads/registers these execution providers:

• CUDAExecutionProvider — 100%
• WebGpuExecutionProvider — 100%
• NvTensorRTRTXExecutionProvider — 100%

However, VitisAIExecutionProvider is not downloaded or registered.

I also checked the installed Windows AppX packages. The only WinML execution-provider packages installed are NVIDIA TensorRT-RTX packages. There is no AMD/VitisAI WinML execution-provider package installed.

Get-AppxPackage *AMD.NPU* returns nothing.

Get-AppxPackage *WinML* only shows:

• MicrosoftCorporationII.WinML.NVIDIA.TRT-RTX.EP.1.8 — 1.8.24.0
• MicrosoftCorporationII.WinML.NVIDIA.TRT-RTX.EP.2 — 2.30.43.0

My AMD software version is 25.9.1.

The AMD NPU is present in the system, but Foundry Local does not expose any NPU model and does not appear to download/register VitisAIExecutionProvider.

This seems very similar to issue #995, but I am using an AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS / OMEN 16 rather than the HP EliteBook mentioned there.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Foundry Local 0.10.3 WinML for Windows x64.
2. Start Foundry Local.
3. Run:
   foundry cache ls
4. Run:
   foundry model ls --device npu

Expected behavior

Foundry Local should detect the AMD NPU and make compatible NPU model variants available through the WinML/VitisAI execution provider.

Actual behavior

No NPU models are listed, and VitisAIExecutionProvider is not downloaded or registered.

System information

Could you please confirm whether AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS / Ryzen AI NPU is currently supported by Foundry Local 0.10.3 on Windows x64, and if so, why VitisAIExecutionProvider is not being downloaded/registered on this system?
