    I have the m11x R2 and never had the need to "white list" anything. All I use to do was open up my Nvidia control panel and set global GPU from integrated to high-performance. I use steam for gaming, and some of the games have a video options menu that pops up before loading the game. Oddly, the GPU option was set to integrated and could not be changed. Furthermore, I played other games and they were laggy (meaning my integrated GPU was still in activation). Is there a solution to make my system able to switch back and forth between GPUs again? Thank you in advance for your answers.
