Omen Gaming Hub Graphics Switcher

[Yagzi]

So I need help on my Hp Victus, recently I have downloaded the Omen Gaming Hub, there is a Graphic Switcher adjustment with two options which either Hybrid or Discrete. Firstly my computer was working Hybrid which is basicly using both integrated and discrete graphics depending on application. Eversince I changed it whenever I reset it back to Hybrid from Discrete. After rebooting my brightness adjustment dissapears. It means that it setting itself %80 and it is basicly imposible to change it back if i don't  change the graphics switcher to discrete again.

So here is the problem I don't want the computer to go wild on graphics card, heating up and making noises but i also don't want to use the computer with annoying as possible brightness.

Also i have a bluetooth connection problem which is whenever i connect my devices to the computer it constantly disconnects and connects back making it imposible to use .
