Hello! I'm new hear and have a question. I have my laptope (Pavilion 15-cw0034ur) with APU ryzen 3 2300U on board and integrated graphic Vega 6. Graphic memory lock at 512mb (this is a very low figure) and i wont to change it to 1Gb. How can i unlock advanced setup on my BIOS to change this graphic setting? My BIOS version "F.17 Rev.A"

There is no advanced setup in the BIOS for you to access.
Changing the amount of video RAM is not something a user can do.
What you have is a mainstream level notebook.
You are stuck with 512MB of video memory.

Sorry but you are wrong. This is not a discrete graphics card. I need to change how much RAM my integrated card will use, the manufacturer has NOT blocked this function. The is only problem i have BIOS without advanced setup where i can change this function.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but what I posted in my previous reply is absolutely accurate. Read it again.
Manufacturers design and code the BIOS firmware functions and determine which functions they will allow owners to use. Does that make it easier for you to understand? You can't change what you cannot change when it is designed to operate the way it does.
The problem you have is actually that you bought a notebook that has only processor on-chip graphics and no discrete graphics module with dedicated graphics memory.

@Erico
You are trying to say that the manufacturer has set the value UMA frame buffer size to "Auto" or "512mb" and blocked the ability to change it only fore HP laptop users? Then why owners Acer laptops with the exact same APU and exact same Vega graphic card have this ability and i dont?

You really should stop trying to spam or troll me and do some reading and gain a bit of understanding of how the new UEFI BIOS and the on-chip video graphics solution works.
The Moderator already explained that to you with crystal clarity. You know what the options are, so stop.
