    Ok i've probably asked the question a few times already but here goes again. I can't find it or if it got any responses.

    Not a major concern issue but if there was some kinda fix I wouldn't mind apply it.

    Ok so we know that the Intel is linked to VGA out and the nVidia to HDMI, but why if i'm on STAMINA mode, and I plug in my HDMI cable, it tries to output over HDMI? I'm in STAMINA mode, it's not supposed to even try to do that - because as you might have guessed, this turns off the display on the Laptop and then obviously no signal on my HDMI monitor. So I either have to unplug the cable, or cycle displays with Fn+F7 or Win+P.

    Like I said, not a major issue, just found that was pretty dumb.
