The Z Series Vaios have switchable graphics which allows the choice of the Intel graphics or the NVidea graphics by the moving of the ‘Speed/Stamina’ switch.

This switching was facilitated by a single Hybrid NVidea/Intel driver. Support for this Hybrid Driver ended with Windows 7 and Sony never recommended updating Z Series Vaios above Win7, which now presents a problem.

In addition, later Z Series models used an AMD/Intel Hybrid Driver.

You will have to chose between the two and install the latest single driver - the latest Intel driver may be easier to source and install while in Stamina mode.

Which driver versions have you tried to install?
