    My laptop is in Signature. I am using Clevo Control Center 5.0001.1.05. BIOS version is 1.05.01.

    Basically the switch in the Control Center is stuck at MSHYBRID even though the laptop is working as DISCRETE. I tried uninstalling control center -> restart -> installing. I tried shutdown for couple of minutes. I tried swapping back and forth between MSHYBRID and DISCRETE in bios. The button is always stuck at MSHYBRID.

    I am pretty sure it was DISCRETE earlier today. I could be wrong. The only thing I was messing up with was undervolting. Does anyone have the same issue with this version of Clevo Control Center?

    Edit: I am 99% there is a huge issue and it was DISCRETE before. Everytime I restart the PC in Windows when I have DISCRETE in BIOS, I get the 3 sec shutdown then restart indicating the BIOS is being changed.

    This is messed up. I am not sure how I am going to fix. I will try resetting the voltage value or restarting from a Linux usb.
