      I have a new performance laptop and find Shadows are not working.
      SU version 2014.
      Laptop is MSI GS65 Stealth

      I checked all the objects in scene to insure they are all set to cast and receive shadows.
      Have tried changing various OpenGL settings but no luck.
      Any advice?

        Hi - hmm, maybe any wrong setting within the shadow settings?

          Here's what my settings look like.
          I don't know why it's grayed out on this part.

              Nevermind it's working!
              I had not clicked on a little button on the Shadow Settings window
