Blade 17 - external monitor via USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 not working

Ribsletics · 2022-07-06T23:04:13+00:00

Just purchased this new Razer Blade 17. Connecting to an external monitor with a USB-C-to-display-port cable, and a straight display port cable. From either of the Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports. No signal detected from monitor. Whenever I plug in a monitor, NVIDIA control panel shows Optimus as the active graphics adapter. And the NVIDIA GPU becomes disabled and I'm unable to select. See screenshot. I just used the Razer BIOS updater and updated the EC as well. Model: (*Omitted) Any help is greatly appreciated!
