    Edit: HOTFIX 496.98 validated and dGPU mode restored! https://international.download.nvidia...

    Eluktronics Laptops featuring a MUX switch (likely other MUX equipped laptops) Nvidia driver 496.76 doesn't properly communicate the display in dGPU mode. It works just fine in Hybrid mode and you can access your BIOS to change this should you update.

    thx for the heads up. I only update gpu drivers a couple times a year, keep a copy of a stable older version backed up offline.
