Hp onyx blizzard power 15 laptop 

switchable graphics 

intel HD 630

Amd Radeon RX 550 2gb dedicated

12GB ddr4 ram

intel Core i5-7300hq

having issues with extremely low FPS even during older games like Diablo 3, Mechwarrior Online, 

and newer games like Doom and PUBG

it ran really well when I bought it 6 months ago

if played with power saving mode and extreme performance settings and spent hours online looking for answers nothing works, AMD  adrenaline  Software profiles don’t help I have a feeling that Windows won’t allow the games to use the Radeon GPU I checked the performance tab in task manager and GPU 0 use is always High (intel) and GPU 1 usage is low (Radeon) please help any suggestions or help would be great.

DDU? And already reinstalled the graphics drivers from HP problem is Windows 10 Auto Updates them....Never had a Problem with Catalyst Control Center....now the new  Adrenaline software....also windows installs the driver and device manager titles the GPU as AMD Radeon RX 550 when Adrenaline updates it Device Manager retitles it Radeon 500.....
