Windows 10: Graphics Performance Preferences

In the Graphics Performance Preferences settings you are able to set individual programs/.exe's/store apps to use either a high performance gpu or the iGPU to save power.Leaving the option as "let windows decide" just leaves windows to always make the wrong decision, as it leaves the poor weak iGPU pinned at 100% usage trying to run 4k 60fps video which it does not seem capable of doing so even for YouTube videos, or it tries to share the load between the iGPU and the actual GPU leaving it at 5% usage while the computer chugs through something it can run fine.Is there a way to change how windo

Custom Driver : Intel HD Graphics & ATI Combo (Alpha) - by nIGHTmAYOR

according to laptop support page they do list an old downloadable driver for intel for windows 7 , weather this is related to there being several variants of that laptop or this laptop has switchable graphics i may just suggest you reset the bios and see if things change , if yes you may be able to apply step 2 , if not then apply step 4 and call it today , you are still better off being on the high performance gpu .

Out of curiosity can you take a snap shot from Settings > System > Display. Scroll down and click the “Graphics Settings” ?

Not able to select gpu when selecting graphics settings in graphics performance preferances

Hi, thanks for reaching out! Sorry about the frustration encountered and please allow me to assist you.

Have you installed Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition later than 19.12.1? This is required to customize graphics performance preference within Windows 10 Graphics settings.

If you are still having problems, please provide the build of Windows 10 you have.

Please let me know if I can help you further!
