I can see that advice has been offered to download fastboot ROM and flash with Miflash with a relock flag.

I have tried to get the phone recognised in fastboot with adb and fastboot downloaded drivers, but this has not worked.

I have reset the phone removing the Miui account.

Does this work if I have never altered the ROM by installing TWRP? I unlocked the bootloader than never needed to change the ROM as I have been happy with the experience. Now I want to remove the "Unlocked device" at boot.

Sorry I need to clarify

I have advanced plus fastboot drivers universal. They don't see the phone.

The Xiaomi driver zip that I downloaded didn't have an exe so I can't install it.

Should I try the miflash even if mi account and twrp is not installed?

Try to install MiFlash on your computer.
The MiFlash installer will automatically install all required drivers.
Download offical full image ROM package and flash it using MiFlash.
Select "clean all and lock" if you wish to lock the bootloader after flashing. Note that don't lock the bootloader if the area code of the ROM you are flashing is different from your bootloader area code, otherwise you will brick your phone.

Check whether ur processor is amd or intel because AmD breaks fastboot compatibility
