Hybrid Graphics/Advanced Optimus missing in BIOS or Manage Display Mode missing in NVIDIA Control Panel
I want to access Manage Display Option in NVIDIA Control Panel but it's missing so I searched GG and found a topic says that I need to enable Discrete Graphics in Hybrid Graphics/Advanced Optimus in BIOS but when I go to BIOS, I can't find it anywhere in Display. Anyone knows how to find it or how to get to Manage Display Option in NVIDIA Control Panel, please let me know. Thank you very much!
My laptop is Dell G15 5511, Windows 11, BIOS 1.34.0, my GPU is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050.

Not all systems support hardware control of the GPU -- and even among systems that do, with the G-series is is usually ONLY the ones with the top GPU option that have the feature. With this model that would be the RTX3060 GPU.
With the Windows options, do you have the latest Dell (NOT Intel and nVidia) driver loaded?

Rather than tagging onto another thread, at least provide the system model number AND the GPU model it has. If this is a 5511 with a 3050 GPU, it will not (despite the "solved all problems" claim) support hardware-switched video.
