Problem with dual graphics AMD Radeon in HP Pavilion 15

[pauza]

Computer Type: laptop HP Pavillion 15-n001la

GPU: dual AMD Radeon HD 8400 / R3 Series + 8600M Series

CPU: AMD A6-5200 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 2.00 GHz

RAM: 8 Gb

Operating System & Version: Windows 10 17763.316

GPU Drivers: Adrenalin 19.2.3 software

When the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update was released. I installed it, but the mouse cursor started lagging. I looked for solutions on the web, on the support communities of Microsoft and HP, like doing /sfc or verifying file integrity, but they didn't work. To this date I am having this problem with cursor, youtube and downloaded videos lagging.

I have a notebook HP Pavillion 15 with two AMD Radeon graphics cards: HD 8400 / R3 Series, HD 8600M Series. If I disable one of the them, lag disappears. However, I need both.

So I used the AMD clean up utility from safe mode to remove all the drivers, I looked for the autodetect installer from the website but it downloaded the Adrenalin Software 19.2.3. I installed it and the drivers were succesfully but even now, my laptop lags and stutters to unbearable levels, unless I disable on of the two graphics cards.

However by disabling one or the other controller, I can't run video games and use an HDMI for viewing movies/series in the TV.

Anyone has any ideas?

Thanks for any assistance!

I’m having the same problem. The unique solution that encountred is goes back to the 18.5.1 version of AMD Radeon and the cursor options: show trace of pointer. Greetings.

Regged just to say thank you very much for this solution to this bizarre issue that you'd think they'd fixed by now.

Hey there,

I was facing the same issue.

After hours spending on troubleshooting I did three things.

1. Disable in Windows that drivers should be all the time automatically installed from Windows Update

2. Use DDU to completly uninstall all drivers (you have to do it from the Safe Mode)

3. Download the HP Support Assist and let it install the drivers 

After that I have the both graphic working fine, no lags.

Hope it will help.
