Laptop employs dGPU rather than iGPU for unused applications
Hi, I'm facing an issue with my laptop. The dGPU is being utilized for apps I didn't choose and aren't actually needed. This wasn't an issue before, but recently a game on Steam caused many random applications to use the dGPU. Additionally, I can't turn off my laptop through Windows because it displays "There are currently no power options available," and I have to disable it manually. Is there a solution to this?
To determine if random apps are utilizing the dgpu, you can check their system resource usage or performance metrics.
the icon in the bottom left corner of the screen for the up arrow displays apps using the gpu. when i turned it back on, everything returned to normal. however, i still face issues with power options not being available when trying to shut down my laptop.
