Windows 10: Direct System Processes to Integrated Graphics to keep dedicated GPU free?

I have a Geforce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU with Radeon Integrated graphics on my laptop with 32 Gbs of Ram. My question is if I can allocate system processes Windows Defender, Mobile device service, basically just programs needed for my PC to run to my Integrated Graphics my Radeon Graphics and keep my main GPU My RTX 3060 Laptop free for any games or heavy tasks on my PC. Is there a way to do this or am I stupid to ask this question?

System Won't Use Dedicated Graphics, Defaults to Integrated

Laptop: Dell G3 3779

So a friend of mine updated their GeForce drivers a while ago and suddenly their laptop is using integrated graphics for everything, they get low FPS even on non demanding titles such as League that their laptop should and was able to handle just fine.

We sat through it for a whole day trying to figure out what the problem was, here's a short, possibly non comprehensive list of things we've tried to no avail:

• Update Windows + All drivers
• Uninstall graphics driver with DDU then reinstall latest
• Rollback to gpu driver before the problem started
• Try to force use of dedicated gpu through Nvidia control panel, game settings, and through disabling integrated gpu in device manager
• Scanning for viruses
• Checking temperature, airflow, heat
• Checking all processes and services
• Clean Boot
• Overclocking, benchmarking on Overwatch, no difference in performance whatsoever

Attached are some diagnostics taken today, hopefully we can work together to resolve this.

 

Cant use dedicated gpu

Hello I'm trying to use my dedicated GPU in place of my integrated but after I saw this




I had no clue what to do so I went into my BIOS to change it and there was integrated and switchable listed I picked switchable and still nothing now I'm here hoping somebody can help me.

I'm running windows 10 home version 1903, integrated gpu=intel graphics 3000, dedicated=AMD radeon graphics HD 7670M

 

Integrated vs Dedicated GPU Query

Ok, thanks for the advice, it's good to know the fan is supposed to whir up and that the integrated GPU should do the job.

I followed the advice and set firefox on nvidia via control panel just to see what happened in task manager processes and if the fan still kicked in. It did and with the same level of noise but the GPU usage was showing much lower, (around 30%) and in processes it showed both nividia and integrated usage simultaneously, which was unexpected but perhaps the integrated may be other processes that are running rather than firefox. Although I can't think what.

Having looked through the nvidia control panel which is set to Global settings 'auto-select: Integrated', and then scroll down the list of programs in the box on the program settings tab, I notice just about everything is set to integrated, even stuff like vlc player. So the question that springs to mind is what is nvidia actually used for, if not even games and videos. What is the purpose of having a high spec dedicated graphics card.
