    All of a sudden, my Envy 14 won't switch to Intel graphics when unplugged, neither automatically nor manually. Oddly enough, if I reboot while unplugged and run Intel, then plug in, it does switch to ATI.

    Anybody have any tricks to fix this? I really don't want to do a reinstall...

    Thanks!

    Edit: Sorry for the horrible title, I'm in a bit of a rush this morning...

    It seems to happen after you unplug the laptop while it's in sleep mode. However, I haven't had this problem recently. Maybe F.23 did something, I can't say for certain

    Yes, I believe that could be it, thanks.
