    Can anyone help me? The switchable graphics option disappeared all of a sudden and i can't access it anymore by right clicking on the desktop or by manually plugging it in with the charger. Note: The switchable graphics option i mention is not the switching cards one its the power saving/high performance gpu one :)


    Specs are:
    Acer Aspire timeline x 4820tg-6847

    Amd Radeon HD 6550M

    I have this exact problem as well. I can access Switchable Graphics screen, but clicking the High Performance one does nothing. Very frustrating as my gaming laptop now essentially turned into a netbook. -_-
