Windows 10: My laptop is not using my GPU, it is detected under device manager but not being used.

I have a Razer 2019 15 in base laptop with NVIDIA 1060. My display on my laptop is not using this GPU and is using the basic display adaptor.

Windows not detecting dedicated gpu at all on laptop

I have an ASUS FX505DT laptop. Just recently after starting up the pc as usual the gpu was not detected at all. The only evidence there is even a gpu there is that the drivers are installed in device manager. The driver is not reporting any problems. There is no setting to enable the gpu in bios, nor does it list the gpu in hardware information on the bios, only the integrated. It isn’t listed on dxdiag either. The pc crashes frequently.

 

Integrate gpu is hidden in device manager and not detected by anything

so i dont know what i did to cause this, but recently i noticed that my nvidia gpu was the only one that showed up in task manager. i didnt think much of it until i was solving a problem with something else when the helper noticed that my primary gpu was my integrated gpu. the thing is, my integrated gpu wasnt being detected by anything. i tried to install graphics drivers for it but it said that i didnt have anything which supports it. however, i turned on show hidden files in device manager and it was there. the problem is that it isnt being detected. i went into uefi to try to fix the primary gpu problem, but it was on my discrete gpu and i could switch to my integrated, but im scared if that will mess something up. i'd like to here your guy's ideas.

my laptop is a lenovo legion 5p.

 

GPU not detected

Hello,

I have been slowly rebuilding my old desktop. Some of the parts are old, but I have currently upgraded the RAM, mobo, CPU and hard drive. I would like to try and keep it where it is at instead of spending more money on it. I am experiencing an issue with
detecting the graphics card. I have a monitor hooked up to the graphics card and, obviously, I can see what is going on. So I know that the GPU is being detected, but when I got to device manager, I cannot find the GPU anywhere. I have also typed in the
command

into command prompt and it also says that the only video card I am using is the Windows Basic Display Adapter. I have checked online and the GPU is compatible with the motherboard so I know that isn't an issue. For reference the GPU is a GTX 560 Ti. I
know it is a bit older, but I don't really need to update for the games I play. I just need it to work. Are there any other suggestions as to what I should do? I have listed my current build below.

OS: Windows 10 home edition 64 bit

Mobo: ASROCK x370 Gaming k4

RAM: EVGA DDR4 16GB

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600x Six Core Processor

Again, any suggestions on how to solve this so my GPU is detected would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much and have a great day!
