So I bought this laptop used last night and it worked fine until I tried actually changing the resolution in settings or in a game.
I clicked "Advanced Display Settings" and saw:
This is really weird mainly because whilst writing this, the GPU is detected and drivers are installed.
Now I've been working with computers for ages and have had several issues just like this one but for some reason I can't wrap my head around it.
To get the GPU to actually be used in games, I need to disable the Basic Display Adapter, which causes the computer to not let me change the resolution.
Specs I'm working with:
i7-6500u
Radeon R7 M370
8GB DDR3 @ 1600mhz
If anyone knows how to make the dedicated graphics actually connect to the internal laptop display, please help.
Edit: This is also causing the brightness slider to not work.
