Hello. I've observed some performance problems with my laptop (Gigabyte Aero 15X with GTX1070-MaxQ). When running graphically demanding applications, the Desktop Window Manager consumes excessive GPU resources, especially on the integrated GPU. I seldom play games, but today I started Civ 6 and experienced noticeable lag when switching between tabs while watching a YouTube video. In Task Manager, it appears my system is limited by the built-in GPU. Could you suggest moving these heavy tasks to the Nvidia GPU? Also, please let me know what those intensive processes are and why they require so much processing power. I've attached a screenshot of Task Manager for your reference. Thanks!
