Dual graphics cards slowing down laptop

[alaenya90]

My laptop still performs fine when gaming, but it's starting to be a little on the slower side when I use a web browser or a video player. I ran a windows experience index and it shows my integrated graphics card as the weakest part. I have a dedicated AMD card, but I can't set it to be used by some progrems (they appear as locked in the switchable graphics settings).

Is there anything that can be done about this?

My specs:
Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
CPU: Intel Core i5 4210U @ 1.70GHz
RAM: 8,00GB
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics Family, 2048MB ATI AMD Radeon R5 M255

1. The WEI is a badly flawed "benchmark".

2. It is reading the integrated graphics, because that what it does.
The laptop brings the dedicated GPU into play when it needs it.

Set a power plan profile to favour more performance in Windows and also set GPUs power plan in Amd software. It'll use more battery power so best have it connected to mains when set for more performance.
