Windows 10: Unable to select GPU in Windows Graphics Settings

Problem: Windows does not allow me to choose which GPU to use for applications. Back in the day, this was done through Nvidia Control Panel. Windows will only show the GPU which the primary monitor has been connected to. I AM NOT trying to SLI these cards, I am trying to offload lower GPU tasks to a secondary GPU while dedicating my main GPU to gaming.

Change selected GPU in Graphic Settings?

But I don't want to change any gpu setting, what I want is something like this, as I seen in many places:





With the Intel HD Graphics as the Power Saving GPU, and in my case the Radeon RX 580 as the High Performance GPU.

But I don't know how to make Windows change this.

 

Select GPU to use by specific applications

I've said that I've tried it, and explained that for me specific GPUs are not available to select there. I have only available Power Saving and High Performance presets there that are set for the same GFX card (GeForce GTX 1060) for me,
that is system default too. In NVidia on AMD settings you can only switch between integrated and dedicated GFX card, not between 2 cards especially from 2 different vendors. So, how to assign different GFX card to Power Saving preset? Or how to unlock option
to select specific GFX card there besides those 2 presets?

 

Select GPU to use by specific applications

Hello Keyvis,

Windows 10 version 1803 added the Graphics
settings that can modify which graphics card is to be used for each app.

1. Click the Start button, type Graphics
   settings and then hit Enter.
2. Choose between Classic app or Universal
   app (Windows Store Apps).
3. Select desired app and then click Add.
4. Select the app from the list and then click Options.
5. Set the graphics preference for the app and then click Save to complete.

If you're unable to modify the preferred graphics preference using the method above, you can try to access the graphics program for each graphics card,
Nvidia Control Panel, and AMD Radeon Settings. I suggest visiting the device manufacturer's support website for assistance on how to use their respective program to modifying the preferred graphics settings.

Let me know if you have other questions.
