1. Before anything else, lets make system restore point. Because if anything goes wrong you are able to restore your system to previous state.

2. Now lets download AMD Catalyst driver. Be sure, that your package includes Display driver and Catalyst Control Center.

3. It’s time to uninstall your AMD graphics. Just go to control panel. Now open up your device manager and uninstall AMD adapter. If there is option “Delete the driver software for this device” then check it.

4. Restart your PC.

5. Run Ccleaner and fix registry errors. Ccleaner download link also in description.

6. It’s time to install your AMD graphics driver.
Choose custom install and be sure, that Display drivers and Catalyst center are checked, also any other option.

7. Restart your PC.

8. Now we have fully working Catalyst center with Switchable graphics option.

9. With AMD Gaming Evolved you can optimize your games, check for updates, earn points, connect with steam and much more.

10. Also AMD uninstalled Intel media components. So open up your device manager and reinstall them.

11. If your screen goes black, do not turn off your computer!!! Just wait a little bit.

12. Restart your PC.

Missing Switchable Graphics option? Check out these steps:

1. CCC does not installed correctly?

Go to C – Program Files – AMD – CCC2 – Install – and run setup. The solution may install missed components properly. Restart your PC

2. Roll back to the latest drivers when you had the switchable graphics option. Repeat all steps as shown in the video.

3. Go to BIOS Setup Utility and check, whether you have switchable graphics option or not.

Dynamic mode allows you to manually choose your graphics settings for applications. Fixed mode allow switching between the power-saving GPU and the high-performance GPU based on power source.

So change it to fixed and if your laptop is plugged in, it should use AMD graphics.

4. You can also install your drivers with UnifL http://leshcatlabs.net – take a look at “Fix Your Issues – Install Package Failure or Code 43 etc…” in description below.

UnifL is ONLY FOR 64BIT SYSTEMS.

If you have 32BIT system, you can still use “Display driver uninstaller” to get rid of bad drivers. Just download new drivers from intel and amd site. Links are in the beginning of description.

Do you have Microsoft .NET4 Framework installed? Newest AMD drivers ask for it.

Find it out at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh925568(v=vs.110).aspx

1. You can uninstall your AMD and Intel drivers with “Display driver uninstaller” http://www.wagnardmobile.com/

2. Extract “Display driver uninstaller” somewhere into desktop, e.g. desktop/amdcleaner – run extracted program in WINDOWS SAFE MODE.

IMPORTANT: Following order is important:

3. Uninstall AMD. Restart your PC.
4. Uninstall Intel. Restart your PC.

5. Now go to http://leshcatlabs.net/unifl-unified-leshcat-drivers/ and download your driver.

I recommend to download stable version

I’m currently using Crimson 15.12 ATI AMD official driver and works great. (win 10 – amd 7700M)

Before i used 14.9.2 from leshcatlabs and everything worked almost fine, but 14.4 was more stable. (win 8.1 – amd 7700M).

And if you have google chrome, then go to chrome://settings/ and uncheck “enable phishing and malware protection”, under Advanced – Pricacy section, UnifL is not malware. After download enable “phishing and malware protection” again !

IMPORTANT: Following order is important:

6. Install Intel. Reboot your PC.
7. Install AMD. Reboot your PC.

  • only 2steps to fix this,
    1.Enable High performance mode in your power plan(If this mode is missing in your power plan you just Copy this command powercfg -duplicatescheme 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c and type CMD in search bar then click Run as Administrator then paste in CMD then click Enter, now your power plan will enable).
    2.Now the Switchable Dynamic graphics enabled in your High perrformance mode, so go control panel-power plan-High performance mode-Change power settings-Advanced power settings-Scroll down to see the Switchable dynamic graphics-Global Settings-((On battery-Maximize performance)/(Plugged in-Maximize performance))
