Windows 10: Intel Integrated GPU interfere applications

AsaBasa · Oct 30, 2020

I have an Asus ROG strix scar II laptop with 2 monitors connected to it.
The external monitors are connected to the dedicated GPU (Nvidia GeForce 1060 6GB) and the laptop display
is connected to the integrated graphics of the CPU (Intel i7-8750H).

My problem is that some applications aren't functioning correctly (and sometimes crashes) when placed on the laptop display.

E.g. If I move my browser window (Brave) to the laptop display, I can't move the tabs anymore. Every time I pull out a tab I can't put it back.

Another example is with program called RStudio that doesn't open when in the laptop display.

What can cause this kind of issues

Windows 10 version 1909 (OS build 18363.1139) Home edition 64 bit

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.

Can't install windows because of GPU

Hi,

You mentioned earlier that the Intel HD integrated graphics works perfectly. In that case, we suggest to remove your GPU from your laptop and use the integrated graphics card, then, perform a clean install. Follow the steps on the link provided by one of
our Wiki Authors Andre Da Costa on How to: Perform a clean install of Windows 10. Clean install will remove your GPU driver.

We look forward to your response.

Windows 10 Won't use NVIDIA GPU, Uses Integrated Graphics Instead! (LAPTOP)

I have a similar (same) problem with my ASUS laptop.

My Laptop: ASUS F550L laptop

SPECS:

Windows: Windows 10

Processor: Intel Core i7-4500MQ CPU @ 1.8GHz

RAM: 8 GB

System Type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor.

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M

Integrated GPU: ?

DirectX Version: ?

I have tried the steps listed above but they did not resolve the problem.

I have attempted to download an updated driver but my driver was reported as 'up to date'.

What do I do now?
