    I just wanted to ask a simple question ,since I couldn't find an answer anywhere I looked at...

    Just got my brand new MSi GT73VR 7RE Titan notebook and I realized, that the e-gpu button is not working properly, as it should be...
    When I press it, it should inform me about a necessary reboot of the system to switch between the integrated graphics and the dedicated gpu.

    Unfortunately, it just gives me an error, and nothing happens... I kind a have to do the restart manually for changes to take effect, but it quite annoying.. I've tried reinstalling the gpu drivers and such, but was not able to find any info on whether any kind of re-installation of the "button driver" might help?

    here's the error message I get when I press the button:

    Uninstall SCM download the latest version from the MSI website and install that version.
