Windows 10: Cant set the system wide GPU to my integrated graphics card.

Beckett Hale · May 2, 2024

I reinstalled Windows lately and apparently, that has caused a ton of problems as Microsoft in their INFINITE wisdom, has decided to remove the preferred GPU functions from NVIDIA, and right now the computer is running everything on my dedicated gaming card which is clogging it up when before I had it set to only games being used on it. How can I set it so that the default is my integrated card and not my main GPU WITHOUT HAVING TO GO THROUGH AND CLICK EVERY SINGLE FILE ON MY SYSTEM AND ADD IT TO THE GOD FORSAKEN GRAPHICS SETTINGS CONTROL IN SETTINGS? I have already tried to set the default r

Graphics Cards and Integrated Graphics

To whom it may concern,

I have recently installed a dedicated graphics card in my Windows system, and in order to use 3 monitors, I had to force the integrated graphics processor on in the BIOS. Is there a way to switch the order that Windows detects the GPUs? In TSKMGR, it reports
that the Intel HD Graphics 530 is GPU 0 and the nVidia GeForce GT 730 is GPU 1, and showing that only the 530 processor is being used for OpenGL,CL and DirectX. I want the nVidia GPU to b e GPU0 and the Intel HD 530 to be GPU1. Is this possible?

Thank you!

How can I force my dedicated GPU to handle all applications or disable my integrated GPU?

From pureinfotech:

Starting with version 1803 (April 2018 Update) and later versions, Windows 10 features a new section in the Settings app, which also allows to specify the preferred graphics card for traditional desktop and Microsoft Store apps to improve system performance or battery life.

To force an app to use a discrete GPU instead of the integrated adapter, or vice versa, to provide better system performance or battery life, use these steps:

Open Settings.

Click on System.

Click on Display.

Under “Multiple displays,” click the Advanced graphics settings link.

Select the kind of app you want to configured using the drop-down menu: (Classic app — these are your traditional Win32 desktop programs.) (Universal app — these are those app available through the Microsoft Store.)

If you select Classic app, you’ll need to click the Browse button to locate the “.exe” file to add the app. Otherwise, if you select the Universal app option, you’ll see a second drop-down menu to select the app.

Select the app you added from the list.

Click the Options button.

Set the graphics preference you want to use: (System default — this is always the default setting, and Windows 10 decide which GPU to use automatically. Power saving — runs the application on the GPU that uses the least power, which most of the time is your integrated graphics processor. High performance — runs the application on the most capable GPU, which is most of the time an external or discrete graphics processor.)

Click the Save button.

Once you’ve configured the steps, the app you configured will use the graphics processor you specified optimizing battery life or performance the next time you launch it.
