Graphics/Default graphics settings dialogue difference in identical machines

Hello Kevin_011

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

When dealing with OpenGL issues on seemingly identical Windows machines, it's not uncommon to encounter varied behavior due to subtle differences in settings or system configuration. Given the situation you've described, here are some potential reasons for the "Default high performance GPU" option to appear on one machine and not the other:

1. Windows Update Differences: Even though both machines may be running the same version of Windows 11, they could have received different sets of updates or optional updates that affect the graphics settings options.
   
2. Graphics Driver Version: Despite drivers being updated to the latest versions, there can be slight differences in the way the drivers are installed or configured. Make sure to check the driver versions are exactly the same and also look at the driver settings in the NVIDIA control panel.
   
3. System Manufacturer Customizations: OEMs like HP sometimes add customizations to the graphics settings that might not be reflected in Windows Update or driver version numbers. Checking with HP support or their forums could provide insights.
   
4. Graphics Card Firmware: Sometimes, the firmware on the graphics cards can be different, leading to differences in how Windows interacts with the GPU.
   
5. Hardware Issues: Although unlikely, there could be subtle hardware differences or issues between the two machines, causing Windows to recognize or interact with the GPUs differently.
   
6. BIOS Settings: You mentioned BIOS is set to default values, but it's worth double-checking to ensure the settings related to graphics (such as switchable graphics options) are indeed identical.
   
7. Windows Graphics Settings: Windows has several settings related to graphics performance and energy savings which might differ between the two machines, affecting how the system uses the GPUs.
   
8. Power Plans: Different power plans can affect the performance of the GPU, especially if one is set to prioritize energy savings over performance.
   

To address the problem

1. Ensure that both machines are on the same power plan, and the graphics settings in the Windows Control Panel are configured identically.
   
2. Compare the detailed driver versions and settings for both the NVIDIA and Intel GPUs.
   
3. Look into the Windows Event Viewer for any system errors or warnings that might provide more information about the crash.
   
4. Use tool to verify that the graphics card firmware versions are the same.
   
5. If the issue persists, contact HP support or consult their knowledge base to check if there are any known issues with the ZBook Studio configurations under Windows 11.
   

If there is anything not clear or I can't understand your problem, please do not hesitate to let me know.

graphics card problems

Hi,

Your computer makes a noise or beeps from your internal speaker because it failed to detect the graphics card. What we can suggest is for you to try cleaning your graphics card with a pencil eraser. Here are the steps below:

• Turn your computer off.
• Pull out your video/graphics card.
• Rubbed the cold contacts with soft pencil eraser.
• Connect your video/graphics card back to the computer.

Kindly note that this is just a temporary fix. If the case still continues, I suggest that you contact your graphics card's manufacturer.

Let us know how it goes.
