Hello everyone,
I am more of a programmer than a gamer, so I need processing power not for running games but code (in my case Python mostly).
I have seen my laptop has 2 beautiful GPUs NvidiaGeForce MX130 that could be used for running Python code way more faster that normal CPU. So could someone tell me how can I use the GPU instead of the CPU for processing purposes?
I bring this topic because I have been running a Python code for NLP for several hours, so my CPU is working like crazy but my GPU is idle!!
Please help
Solved! Go to Solution.

Welcome to HP support community.
I would suggest here is to run the Windows update troubleshooter.
Download and install the troubleshooter from this link.
Now try to perform Windows Updates -
1) In the search box, type and open Windows Updates.
2) Check for updates.
3) If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer.
