Windows 10 and NVIDIA Optimus issue — Freezing/Stuttering UI | Hybrid Graphics

[ordinary_user · Accepted solution]

I confirm that on Preview Build 15042 the issue is almost gone. Atm I noticed only one thing that keeps triggering the dGPU: UAC (User Account Control). For example: if you try to open regedit.exe, there will be a window asking you "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device? Yes/No".
You can disable completely this message by searching "UAC" in Windows search and by moving the slider to bottom (Never notify).

The test was done on
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro x64 Insider Preview
OS Version: 10.0.15042 N/A Build 15042
NVIDIA driver: 378.49
Intel graphics driver: 21.20.16.4542
CPU: i7-7700HQ
iGPU: HD 630
dGPU: GTX 1050 Ti 4GB

So, all we can do is wait for Creators Update which will come out in next months.

Sadly things got worse with Fall Creators Update...

The issue is pretty old... HP should contact Microsoft/NVIDIA/Intel since they don't listen to us, customers...

Sadly I have the same problem on my HP Pavilion Power 15... I found a pretty big thread on the Microsoft forums regarding this issue, but as you mentioned, HP MUST keep a pressure on Microsoft to fix this.

Thanks for the information. I also report it on my specific topic.
