Added to this, when I updated the Radeon software to the latest November 2025 version, the Record &amp; Stream tab wouldn&#8217;t even appear when plugged in, so I rolled back the software to August 2024, and the tab appeared. However, the hotkeys, except the one mentioned, still wouldn&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n<h2>What Did I Do Next?<\/h2>\n<p>Having rolled back the software, I then looked for an iGPU (on-chip integrated graphics), but the <strong>Ryzen 7 7435HS<\/strong> doesn&#8217;t have integrated graphics, just a discrete <strong>RX 7700S GPU<\/strong>. The general internet reasoning was that the Record &amp; Stream function would only appear when in discrete GPU mode, which turned out to be false.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/asus-laptop-a16.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-149878\" src=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/asus-laptop-a16-640x435.jpg\" alt=\"asus-laptop-a16\" width=\"640\" height=\"435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/asus-laptop-a16-640x435.jpg 640w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/asus-laptop-a16-350x238.jpg 350w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/asus-laptop-a16-150x102.jpg 150w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/asus-laptop-a16-768x522.jpg 768w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/asus-laptop-a16.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This explains why the laptop doesn&#8217;t have a MUX switch, which enables switching between the iGPU and the GPU.

Besides, most of the important functions, such as battery control and performance modes, can be controlled by Windows and\/or freeware, so I uninstalled both. I then disabled start-up items such as PowerToys and Snagit, which also use hotkeys, but none of these actions solved the problem of hotkeys not working in Record &amp; Stream.<\/p>\n<h2>Are Leftover Asus Services Causing A Conflict?<\/h2>\n<p>By this point, I&#8217;m banging my head against a brick wall, having read hundreds of forum posts and falling into one rabbit hole after another, but determined to find a solution because that&#8217;s in my nature. Having got rid of the bloatware, I installed G-Helper, a free 4MB utility for Asus laptops for tweaking numerous configurations.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/g-helper.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-149881\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/g-helper-640x478.jpg\" alt=\"g-helper\" width=\"640\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/g-helper-640x478.jpg 640w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/g-helper-350x261.jpg 350w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/g-helper-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/g-helper-768x573.jpg 768w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/g-helper.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Using this utility, I was able to stop all remaining non-essential Asus services from running at startup, thinking that they were creating a hotkey conflict, but this made no difference. I will, however, keep the software running in the background because it&#8217;s so lightweight and more useful than Armoury Crate.<\/p>\n<h2>The Nuclear Option<\/h2>\n<p>The odd thing is that I use roughly the same programs on this laptop as I do on my main desktop gaming rig, so clearly there are no hotkey\/shortcut conflicts on that PC, or if there are, they are usually confirmed by a pop-up. I still think a keyboard conflict of some kind is causing this problem, or some other unknown issue is preventing the Adrenalin hotkeys from working, because even changing the Record &amp; Stream hotkeys makes no difference. Therefore, I&#8217;ll wipe the drive, carry out a clean install of Windows 11, install no other programs apart from AMD Adrenalin, and see what transpires.<\/p><div id=\"daves-677250465\" class=\"daves-single-post-in-content-3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7205184075006101\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7205184075006101\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"2700504761\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"false\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Hold your breath for the next exciting installment!<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<div id=\"daves-2181284881\" class=\"daves-after-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7205184075006101\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7205184075006101\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"3225321574\" \ndata-ad-format=\"autorelaxed\" data-full-width-responsive=\"false\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In some of my previous articles, I&#8217;ve mentioned that I had to roll back the graphic drivers and software on my Asus TUF Gaming A16 Advantage Edition laptop, so I should explain why.
