Welcome to the HP Forums 🙂 I would like to take a moment and thank you for using this forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience on the HP forum, you could also visit our HP Forums Guide for First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. I understand you need information and assistance related to AMD Free Sync not detected on your HP Envy notebook. Don't worry we'll work together to help you find a solution.
To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:
What is the product number of the notebook? Use this link to find it: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_2039298-1862169-16 (Ensure you do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc...).
Have you tried to update the drivers either using Windows update or using HP support Assistant
Have you tried to download the drivers from AMD website?
In the meantime, let's try these steps here:
Perform a Hard reset on the notebook:
Let's start off by performing a Hard reset on the notebook:
Before power resetting your computer, do the following:
-
Disconnect or remove all peripheral devices. Start up the laptop and test the computer by itself, and then reconnect one peripheral device at a time.
-
Turn over the computer and look for a battery compartment door.
-
If there is a battery compartment, use the steps in Reset a laptop with a removable battery.
-
If there is no battery compartment, use the steps in Reset a laptop with a sealed or non-removable battery.
-
I recommend to restore the BIOS defaults.You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings. That way it will look at the Hardware installed on the Notebook.
Once done, restart the computer and check.
Next thing, I would suggest here is to Run Windows Updates troubleshooter -
Download and install the troubleshooter from this link.
Now try to perform Windows Updates -
1) In the search box, type and open Windows Updates.
2) Check for updates.
3) If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer.
If the issue persists, I would suggest here is to uninstall the display drivers on your PC from device manager.
Right-Click on start button> click device manager> expand display adapters>then select the display drivers that are listed and right-click on it and uninstall the drivers.
Check the box that states delete the software for this device.
Now restart the computer and then update the Bios, Chipset and graphics card drivers on your PC either from our HP support website, using this link or download it using HP Support Assistant
Please uninstall HP support assistant completely from control panel> programs and features
Then install the latest version of HP support assistance from this link: HP PCs - Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 10, 8, 7)
Click on Downloading and installing the latest version of HP Support Assistant.
If the issue persists, I would suggest here is to download and install the latest display drivers from the manufacturer's website.
I would recommend you go ahead and download and install AMD detect tool -Click here
Once you have downloaded the AMD detect tool on your PC, please go ahead and uninstall thee display drivers from Device manager.
Once done, restart the computer and then double click on the AMD detect file which you have saved and click on Run, follow the procedure to install the display drivers.
Once done, restart the computer and check how it goes.
Please let me know if this resolves the issue, or if you require further assistance!
Eagerly waiting for your response!
that said, If the information I've provided was helpful,
give us some reinforcement by clicking the solution and kudos buttons,
that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!
Good Luck.
