Windows 10: After hibernate video adapter changes from GPU to CPU and does not stay in GPU

Hi!I have a Lenovo Legion 5p laptop:It has Intel Core i7-10750H and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 TiMy main problem is that I usually use hibernate instead of sleep mode and when my laptop wakes up from hibernate it changes the display mode from GPU to CPUI always have to manually select GPU each time, because I think my CPU is underperforming in many cases, and I get a smoother experience with GPU.There is a second problem:Whenever GPU is selected, in the display settings it shows 2 displays, however, logically there should be only oneHowever, when Optimus mode is selected CPU, it shows 2 display

:)

 

Any way to change in register which GPU is used for Energy saving?

Hi SweetArkhane,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

Yes, you can change the default GPU used for energy-saving in Windows by following these steps:

1. Open the Windows search bar and type "Graphics Settings" and select the option that appears.
   
2. In the Graphics Settings window, click on the "Browse" button under the "Select an app to set preference" section and locate the program or application you want to set a GPU preference for.
   
3. Once you have selected the app, click on the "Options" button and then select "Power Saving" from the drop-down menu.
   
4. Click on the "Save" button to apply the changes.
   

To change the default GPU for all apps, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Windows search bar and type "Device Manager" and select the option that appears.
   
2. Expand the "Display adapters" section and right-click on the GPU you want to set as the default and select "Properties".
   
3. In the Properties window, click on the "Driver" tab and then click on the "Disable" button to disable the GPU.
   
4. Click on the "Yes" button when prompted to confirm the action.
   
5. Once the GPU is disabled, repeat the same steps for the other GPU, but instead select "Enable" to enable it.
   

If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

GPU

Hi Michael

Open Device Manager (accessible by right clicking your Start Button)

Expand the Display Adapters section

You should see your GPU listed, along with possibly an integrated graphics option

If that is no listed there:

Boot into BIOS (start your system, then on the manufacturers screen, repeatedly press the appropriate key (usually F2) to enter BIOS

Under System Information, you should find your GPU listed

If you still cannot find the GPU listing, what is the Make and exact Model No. of your PC - that will be printed on a sticker on the bottom casing . ..

 

GPU not detected

Hello,

I have been slowly rebuilding my old desktop. Some of the parts are old, but I have currently upgraded the RAM, mobo, CPU and hard drive. I would like to try and keep it where it is at instead of spending more money on it. I am experiencing an issue with
detecting the graphics card. I have a monitor hooked up to the graphics card and, obviously, I can see what is going on. So I know that the GPU is being detected, but when I got to device manager, I cannot find the GPU anywhere. I have also typed in the
command

into command prompt and it also says that the only video card I am using is the Windows Basic Display Adapter. I have checked online and the GPU is compatible with the motherboard so I know that isn't an issue. For reference the GPU is a GTX 560 Ti. I
know it is a bit older, but I don't really need to update for the games I play. I just need it to work. Are there any other suggestions as to what I should do? I have listed my current build below.

OS: Windows 10 home edition 64 bit

Mobo: ASROCK x370 Gaming k4

RAM: EVGA DDR4 16GB

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600x Six Core Processor

Again, any suggestions on how to solve this so my GPU is detected would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much and have a great day!
