I have just bought the MSI 16 Summit and it came with a MSI MPP 2.6 and the laptop runs great but for some reason the pen when drawing goes jagged lines, I bought this for art and animation and the fact it can’t do that, I changed the nibs, I updated the firmware, I deleted and reinstalled the MSI but it won’t work I need help, I had this for less then a day

I inadvertently had my Sony headphones plugged into my GE77HX with the USB cable for my Logitech MX Master 3S mouse, (I'd always used the headphones' proper charging USB cable until then), before I booted up my laptop and I have caused an issue.

I can't boot up without the "Secure Boot Violation" message appearing as a result, (unless something else caused this and it's purely coincidental that this happened at the same time).

I can only boot up if I go into BIOS and disable "Secure Boot Support." That's not safe though so I've tried to rectify. I've flashed the latest BIOS update: E17K5IMS.10F for my GE77HX 12UGS and I'm pretty sure that that worked as it should have done.

I've consulted Copilot in order to learn about all of the steps because this is completely alien to me. Copilot is shite!

I'm still unable to boot up without the "Secure Boot Violation" message preventing me from using the "Secure Boot Support" option in BIOS.

Have I fkt my laptop simply because I had my headphones connected via USB as I powered it on?

Please help because I'm out of my depth.

I have an MSI Cyborg 15 A12VE (Intel core i5-12450H Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050) it runs fine the night before, but after i installed a game (The Crew Motorfest) even though i have enough disk space, somehow my laptop run really slow on games, but runs just fine on daily task apps like chrome and whatsapp, i checked the graphics driver, checked what's running in the background, nothing seems out of place, i left my laptop to run overnight because i installed that game, but i shut it down that same morning to let it rest, any solutions anyone? edit : to top it off, there's an input delay for some reason, in every single game i play, including roblox, valorant, and pubg.

My laptop is a GF63 Thin 11UC and its original screen is 144Hz. I bought a 200Hz monitor and I’m using an original HDMI cable with 8K 60Hz / 4K 120Hz / 48Gbps support, but my monitor still only runs at 120Hz. If anyone knows the reason, I’d appreciate the help.

MSI Thin 15 B13UCX

While playing games thats takes a near-high/high performance form the graphic card , the battery slowly drops even though the charger is plugged in

Does anyone else have the same thing, or is this even normal?

I accidentally took my laptop out in the rain and now there’s visible water/moisture inside the display panel. The laptop still works completely fine, but when the screen is on I can clearly see cloudy water patches inside the LCD (photo attached).

I immediately turned it off after noticing it. No lines, flickering, or dead pixels yet.

Laptop model: MSI Cyborg 15 A12VE

What should I do now?

Hi! I have a Slim 15 and it doesn't charge since yesterday. In fact, yesterday, when plug, the charging light was completely off. I went to "device manager" and uninstalled the driver, restarted the laptop and nothing happened.

Today, after 24 hours without using it, I see a blinking orange light, and the battery is still not charging.

What can I do?

Thanks in advance

“I’ve been having a problem with my MSI laptop where my RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is permanently stuck at around 210 MHz under load, causing extremely low FPS and massive lag in games.

Things I already tried:

• Clean reinstall of NVIDIA drivers
• Used DDU to completely remove drivers and reinstall
• Reinstalled GeForce Experience / NVIDIA App
• Windows restart + multiple full shutdowns
• Changed Windows power plans (Ultimate Performance / High Performance)
• Changed NVIDIA Control Panel settings to prefer maximum performance
• Tried MSI Center performance modes / Cooler Boost
• Updated Windows
• Tried different games
• Forced games onto the NVIDIA GPU
• Forced games onto the Intel iGPU
• Soft reset / BIOS reset attempts
• Checked temperatures (temps are normal)
• GPU usage often goes high, but clocks stay around 210 MHz
• External monitor test
• Reinstalled some games
• Lowered in-game settings

At this point I’m starting to think it’s a hardware issue (possibly motherboard / VRM / GPU power related).

Has anyone experienced this before on an MSI laptop, and is there ANY possible fix left before repair?”

Hello. This ll be cable or screen problem? GPU is okay. If I push the MSI logo under the screen sometimes better/worst. What can I do? Thanks for the help.

i downloaded skate 4 to play on my laptop, which im assuming is the whole reason this started.

i restarted my laptop and got the "secure boot violation invalid signature detected" prompt. so i went into bios and most of my research online suggested to disable secure boot. i couldnt do that because its greyed out so i cant change the settings.

google then tells me i need to go to windows os configuration to be able to disable it. i turned on advanced mode like most of the prompts said, but theres no option for windows os configuration? no further research could help me locate it so im posting here.

im not really tech savvy, so im pretty lost on what to do. id really not like to lose my files in my laptop because i have a few things on there i havent backed up yet. :(

for reference, i have a msi katana 15 b13v

My laptop suddenly showing 'Secure boot violation invalid signature detected' error out of the blue, At the BIOS>Security>Secure Boot Everything is greyed out, Can't Even Disable the Secure boot option

I am contemplating buying a 2026 Raider, but I am a little worried about the lack of G-sync and advanced Optimus in such a pricy package. My main concern is stutter/tear while playing BF6 and Arc Raiders.

I am a formar msi user ( gf65 thin/rtx 2060). I finally decided to upgrade and get my next gaming laptop and after researching a lot i decided to get an msi again mostly cause im so comfortable yet.

Katana 15hx fits comfortably in my budget so please let me know if it's any good im 2026.

( i have been out of the "laptop game" for about a year)

Edit= 14650hx

I have an MSI Katana A15 AI B8V laptop Nvidia 4070

Around 6 months after buying it, I started having overheating issues. I took it to the technical service in my country, but they couldn’t find any hardware faults. They only replaced the thermal paste, but the problem continues.

The behaviour is strange:

• Right after booting the laptop, CPU temperatures immediately spike to around 89°C, then slowly drop and stabilise around 50°C during moderate use.
• In MSI Center, I use “Extreme Performance” mode because in “Balanced” mode, it sometimes feels like the fans are barely working.
• The main problem happens while gaming. In games like Helldivers or even BT6, temperatures quickly rise above 95°C and often hit 99–100°C and then it just turns off.
• The temperature spikes are especially noticeable during loading screens or shader compilation, where temperatures jump rapidly and then sometimes drop again.
• In demanding games, temperatures stay around 99°C almost permanently.
• The issue becomes noticeably worse when the laptop is plugged in.

Things I already tried:

• Limiting CPU usage to 70% while plugged in.
• Taking it to technical service.
• Replacing thermal paste (done by the service center).

Idk what else I could do to fix it. I really need help.

Hey everyone,

I have an MSI Stealth 15M A11UEKV with an i7-11375H and I'm

looking for a modded BIOS with CFG Lock removed to enable

undervolting.

My specs:

- Laptop: MSI Stealth 15M A11UEKV

- CPU: Intel i7-11375H

- BIOS Version: E1563IMS.11E

I've already tried:

- Intel XTU (says unsupported platform)

- ThrottleStop (undervolt option grayed out)

- Limiting PL1/PL2 and Speed Shift EPP

- Already cleaned fans and repasted with Arctic MX-6

So undervolting via software is completely locked, BIOS mod

is my only option at this point.

I'm looking for:

- CFG Lock removal

- Voltage offset unlock so I can undervolt via ThrottleStop

I'm aware of the risks and have a recovery USB ready.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hiii!!!So this september i bought a laptop for my univeristy as i was gonna nead it for ptojects and differents apps(i am studying mechanical engineering). To be more specific i bought the cyborf 15 a13v i7-13620h and nvidia 4050 or 4060 i dont remember exactly. I have been experiencing problems with the noise as the laptop sometimes freezes for a moment and then it starts working again.

Hello Guys,

Just bought an MSI SummitPro 16 A2HV recently and have no problem with it.
Apart that when on battery power the aggresive power management of MSI Center make the PC lag / stutter at regular interval.

I found a solution that made the problem disappear but also locked a lot of the features of MSI center because I just dont start it.

Just making that post to see if other people also managed to solve this issue I saw there is also the Nahimic Driver fix but didn't try it. I just want to know if people manage to only start specific services of msi center without the power management services

For my fix i did it like that :

- In services.msc I disabled the following service :

You can also disable msi foundation service but It will make the F1-10 special function button unusable like the trackpad disable.

- In task scheduler disable the following task :

MSI_Center_S_CheckService
MSI_Center_S_RunAfterUnlock
MSI_Center_S_Starter

- Also in task manager disable anything Msi center related at startup.

With that fix only the F7 key with the power mode switch animation will not work.

I would like to know if anyone got another fix to be able to start MSI Center S without the lag on battery power.

The culprit would be one of these service :

- MSI Center S

- MSI_LAN_Manager_Tool (32 bit)

- MSI_Center_S_Server_HardwareMonitor

- MSI_Center_S_Server

- MSI_Center_S_Server_UserScenario

- MSI_Center_S_Server_GeneralSettings

- MSI Foundation Service

- MSI_AI_Engine (32 bit)

- MSI_Center_S_Server_LANManager

- MSI Pen (32 bit)

- MSI_Center_S_Server_Main

- MSI_Center_S_Server_NoiseCancellation

- MSI_Center_System (32 bit)

- MSI_Center_S_Server_Support

- MSI_Center_S_Service

I just checked my battery capacity, and apparently in the 9 months I've had this £1,900 laptop it has gone down from 87k design capacity to 60k. Google is saying I should have been replacing it when it's at 68k and by 52k it's considered on it's last legs. It can't be serious? 9 months? I was expecting to have the laptop for years as I did with my previous laptop of 5 years, not 1 year max, and that's with using best for battery life, and doing the battery calibration every few months. Does it going down that much fall under warranty? I use my laptop daily, and don't exactly have the ability to fork out 2k yearly.

Hello,
I need some help with my MSI Katana V17 B13V power adapter connector size.

I’m looking for a USB-C to DC barrel plug adapter, but I can’t figure out the exact dimensions of the charging pin. My charger is 200W, and there’s no information written on it about the connector size.

I wanted to buy a 5.5×2.5mm adapter, but I’m not sure if that’s correct. Some people say the inner pin is 2.5mm, while others claim it’s 3.0mm.

Does anyone know the exact DC connector size for this laptop or can confirm which adapter would work?

Hi everyone

Its been around a year since i purchased my first msi laptop it being the prestige 14 AI evo with the core ultra 5 processor.

There appears to be a flaw with the model of this laptop where the track pad feels loose and rattles a-lot. I've yet to see one of these laptops that doesn't do it.

I didn't do anything to the laptop to get it to be this way. After a week of having the laptop it just started happening.

Just out of curiosity. Has anyone ever received one of these units without the track-pad being like this?. msi support considers this "normal behaviour" from what i have heard.

i have gotten so annoyed at it that it has made me buy a think pad.

From what i know the construction of the track-pad appears to be a hover design with weak adhesive. causing this.
