Hi everyone. I need help with an issue I'm facing with the OMEN Gaming Hub. Whenever I try to open NVIDIA Advanced Optimus in the Graphics Switcher tab, I'm given this message, "Cannot initialize Advanced Optimus applet. Please be sure that all NVIDIA drivers are up to date, and Graphics Mode is set to "DDS" in the BIOS setup menu."
The problem is that all of my NVIDIA drivers are already up-to-date. My HP OMEN 16 has an RTX 3060, and I've kept its drivers up to date using GeForce Experience. Furthermore, whenever I go into the BIOS, I don't see anything called "DDS" in the graphics mode. I see only "NVIDIA Advanced Optimus" and "Discrete." I've tried selecting both options at different points to see if one will allow me to enable NVIDIA Advanced Optimus in the OMEN Gaming Hub, but neither option works.
Has anyone faced this issue?
