    Hi all I am having an issue with the MUX switch on my MSI GT73vr with the GTX1080.
    I was messing around and tried to switch to the non discrete graphic card to see how long the battery would last..( about 4 hours) But now I can't seem to switch back the the 1080.

    Is there a way outside of the switch on the right hand side of the machine to do this?
    A software tweak..is the switch controlled by some MSI software?

    I have pressed and help for 30 seconds...double tapped it...nothing.

    Thanks for the help

    Is your SCM working correctly?

    Got it fixed...not really sure how though!

    It may have been I did not have the SCM application running.
    I read TFM and it referenced that.

    I had similar issue. SCM controls the button :)
