Product: Victus by HP 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop 15-fa1000 (9P833AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11
Hello,
About two years ago, I purchased the HP Victus 15, which I still use.
Since purchasing it, I've only formatted it twice through Windows settings. Other than that, it hasn't been formatted any other way. My Windows is original.
I've been experiencing a problem with my device for a long time: it uses the integrated Intel HD Graphics graphics card instead of the RTX 4050 graphics card. This slows down performance in games and overall computer operation.
My drivers, Windows, and everything else are up to date.
However, no matter what I do, I can't seem to fix this problem. My computer seems to be refusing to use the RTX 4050 graphics card. How can I fix this?
