Replaced the Z390 motherboard with an X570, and the iGPU configurations stayed the same.

I checked my power settings today and found this issue: it doesn’t appear on Google, even though it shouldn’t affect anything since I don’t have an iGPU and am no longer on an Intel system. It might be safe to assume it’s removed. You could try looking for related text in the registry, but proceed with caution. Let me know if you need more help!
It's not about when it might fail, but when it will stop working. Windows wasn't built to handle this kind of situation, and you've had to be very fortunate it lasted that long. It's clearly trying to solve the issue at hand.
Having multiple operating systems running simultaneously increases the risk of data loss daily. Problems are likely to occur, but a fresh installation could significantly improve performance.
I highly suggest performing a complete system reinstall. If you prefer, you can attempt using DDU to eliminate the Intel drivers.
I work with PC repairs and handle all systems carefully. I own three machines, one of which hasn’t been fully reinstalled since Windows 2000—just updates. When I joined Geek Squad in 2006, I followed the advice to “never give up, never reformat.” I keep performance strong by regularly benchmarking my setups, and they match or exceed most comparable systems. Since this is the only problem I’ve noticed after a recent upgrade (Windows 10 supports easy hardware changes), I’m trying to identify it. It might be something simple in the registry—anyone have insights?
It's because you've kept Intel drivers active, making the system believe you have Intel graphics. I've experienced similar situations before.
