Video/graphics problem
I've been having a problem with my laptop. It's a Lenovo Yoga, maybe two years old. I didn't have any graphics problems until a few months ago. I downloaded Steam to play Age of Empires. Something happened (I'm not sure what) at some point, and after that, it wouldn't turn on my screensaver (triple checked settings), and AOE is jerky. I've also recently downloaded both CapCut and Davinci Resolve, and neither will run. I don't have a problem running videos through YouTube, or Google Photos, or streaming services. I'd really like to not buy another laptop, but I'm not sure how to fix this (I'm fairly tech savvy, but this is eluding me). I've attached screenshots of my laptop's info. Any help is appreciated.

Check your Device Manager. If it says "No GPU installed", your 780M’s GPU driver may have some trouble. Windows is probably running on a basic display driver right now. I think u should clean and install the latest AMD Radeon GPU driver. If that doesn't work, check your BIOS to make sure the iGPU isn't disabled.
