Hi kevin,
the problem seems to be that the control panel simply does not show if the monitor is not directly connected to the mainboard graphics port.
See this conversation I had on a different board:
Intel HD 4600 Problem - techPowerUp! Forums
I was able to access the control panel after going through those steps. I would suggest to put a proper message into the control panel rather than have it disappear immediately again,
Cheers
