  Yes, there are a few possible solutions to this problem. First, make sure that your graphics card drivers are up to date. You can usually download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website. If that doesn't work, try checking the BIOS settings of your laptop to see if there are any options related to the graphics card that need to be enabled. Another option is to try using a different mining software or updating your current software to see if that resolves the issue.

  I had a similar issue with my laptop not recognizing the graphics card for cryptocurrency mining. I found that reinstalling the mining software helped in my case. You can try uninstalling the software completely and then reinstalling it to see if that resolves the problem. Additionally, make sure that your laptop meets the minimum system requirements for mining cryptocurrency. Sometimes, older or low-end laptops may not have the necessary hardware capabilities for mining.

  As an expert in the field, I can tell you that this issue is not uncommon. Many laptops have limitations when it comes to mining cryptocurrency due to their hardware configurations. However, there are some workarounds you can try. One option is to use an external graphics card enclosure, which allows you to connect a more powerful graphics card to your laptop. This can help overcome the limitations of the built-in graphics card. Keep in mind that this solution may require some technical knowledge and additional investment.
