    so, i will connect external tv via hdmi, i will go to ccc, and click duplicate, its ok it works, hurra.
    But then, i want to run my laptop without it, so i unplug hdmi cable while in windows, and both screens are going dark (sw-off), so i will plug hdmi back, but nothing happens.

    Ok, so i will now force shut down by pressing power button, becouse it is the only way right ?

    and if i restart, i have to have my external tv pluugged in becouse when laptop will enter to windows logon screen, it will go dark automaticly (sw-off)

    So now only way to sw-on my laptop properly is by plugging in tv via hdmi, becouse without it, laptop screen goes dark as well.

    STIUPID AMD DRIVERS

    MY question is

    HOW TO UNINSTAL EXTERNAL TV, SO MY LAPTOP WILL RUN JUST FROM BUILD_IN SCREEN ?

    dude, hit fn+f6 a few times until your tv is black and lappy screen is on, then disconnect hdmi, if you all of a sudden take hdmi off definitely it will go crazy
