GPU hard cap at 40W?

After a windows update, i can no longer play on battery since GPU wattage is stuck at 40W.

I know it is terrible to play on battery but I just recently bough a 140W usb C charger since the original 330W power brick is too bulky for outside use. Its a perfect setup for me until a windows update happened.

It works fine for discrete gpu/only happens to hyrbid mode but switching is a hassle since you need a restart.

Any known fix for this? Im 90% sure its a windows thing and not the gpu driver.

P. S :
-Already tried fix windows by reinstall
-Both Cpu and Gpu drivers are updated.

Msi stuck at boot

Hello everyone. I'm seeking help for my Pulse 16 AI C1VGKG.

earlier today, it worked fine, and now it refuses to boot.
When pressing the power button, the keyboard light up, but it doesn't do anything more.
The caps/num lock leds never light up even after pressing the associated key.
The screen stays black.
The fans goes a bit louder after a few seconds.
It was never dropped.
Ram sticks never changed.

I already tried the pin under the laptop, after that it refused to power on until i plugged it in.

Can someone help me make it work again?

Vbios flashing

I was wondering if anyone had information on vbios swapping an 5070ti MSI Stealth A16 AI+ A3XWHG-207US.

I found a 140w vbios from the msi vector but it was still being limited to 90-105w all while being below 70c.

Any help is appreciated.

Asking for help with MSI 16 HX AI A2XWIG Laptop - Fan curves and underclocking

Hi all. Just bought the MSI HX AI laptop, upgrading from my old Leopard 8RE. I got the model with Ultra 9 processor and 5080 grapics card. Love the laptop but really dislike the fan noise and behaviour. My laptop will essentially be idling aroung high 30s to low/mid 40s and the fan keeps flaring up and is really quite loud even at that level. (yes cooler boost and AI mode are both off). Still setting it up so havent even had a chance to put any games on... Im dreading what sounds will come out of it then. I was told before buying it that there were ways to get the fans under control via custon fan curves and possibly undervolting... but now that I actually have the laptop it seems like its not possible at least through the MSI Center. I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of raw performance to have a more civilised experience but after some days of research Im at a loss. Ive looked through so many forums, Youtube videos and even AI and just keep finding contradicting, old or irrelevant information. At ths point, I just have no idea what to do. It seems like in the past there were many more official options that have been removed. Im ready/willing to take unnoficial steps but really need some advice on where to go with this. If any of you with knowledge and experience would point me in the right direction.... i would be so grateful.
