  1. Windows apps use Nvidia GPU


    I have switchable integrated Intel HD video/Nvidia GeForce 840M. Recently I noticed that my Nvidia GPU is used even without any apps started. It turned that it is used by Windows apps like Phone Companion, Store, Mail etc. It is really disturbing, because my battery life is reducing significantly. Also, it's just weird. Any ideas?

    :)

  3. Windows 10 is getting stuck when enabling GPU (Nvidia 410m)

    Hello!

    I have notebook Lenovo b570e with two GPU:

    - Integrated Intel

    - Nvidia GeForce 410m

    I use Windows 10 (enterprise) 64 bit

    When I'm enabling Nvidia GeForce 410m in windows device manager then os is stucks/hangs/freezes and only hard reboot helps (long press on a power button).

    After some attempts I realized that the problem is in hardware acceleration (PhysX).

    Previously I disabled PhysX by using this tutorial (Disabling NVIDIA Physx GPU acceleration | NVIDIA) and
    GPU was enabled, everyting worked fine, but after some Windows 10 updates the problem is back.

    After Windows 10 updates the Nvidia GPU and PhysX were enabled, and Windows 10 stucked on startup, so I disabled Nvidia GPU in safe mode.

    This problem didn't occure on Windows 8.X and Ubuntu 16.04.

    I use last nvidia drivers (382.53)

    How can I disable hardware acceleration (PhysX) in Windows 10?

    Thank you!

    p.s. I already tried "Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) " to completely uninstall AMD/NVIDIA graphics card drivers and packages from your system,
    it didn't help.

    Windows apps use Nvidia GPU

    Every app uses your gpu? What do you mean exactly?

  6. go to the NVidia control panel/manage 3d settings and click on program setting tab.
    you can set in there which gpu the programs use

  7. Checked it out first, can't even see those apps there. I also tried setting integrated videocard as default - it didn't help.
