Thanks for this, now I can finally run notepad on 12fps

For the first time ever, the Microsoft Photos app didn't crash. Thank you. You truly made me happy.
[context: the Photos app found itself to load over 25000 photos and crashed. Turns out it was just the Intel Processor not handling it.]

You're a life saver! I've been trying to get my games to run properly for like a year, but my computer kept defaulting to my Intel GPU instead of Nvidia.

This has cured my hours of frustration

Upgraded an alienware GPU and after 5 hours of everything set up but not working correctly this windows setting was corrected and the final issue was resolved. How after 30 hours of research and frustration did no one else mention this damn menue! Thank you though, much appreciated.

It took me ages to find this. Thank you for making what is a very simple process but buried in dumb place something I could finally use to max out MadVR quality settings.

[veizour]

Exactly what I needed. Thank you, good sir. (Was able to force eGPU 1080 instead of on-board 1060 when plugged in)

[swimmerdude]

Both of my options are my bad graphics card built in my cpu not my dedicated graphics card. What do I do?

[ChaseA-rvge]

Hi I did this method and still it did not work I even check in nvidia settings and my games were using the graphics gpu as default but when i play a game my intel processor is messing with fps. I have to disable it to run it smoothly. I had search a lot in the internet still no fix. Anyone??
