Hi
I've new laptop Pavilion x360 with 2 display adapters, built in Intel 620 and Nvidia GeForce MX130.
I have a problem since Nvidia GPU is not activated and I can't see any utilization in the performance screen.
I've tried to change the display by selecting it in the multiple displays but there's only Display1 which is Intel, Nvidia is not there.
I've tried to change the settings in Nvidia setting but in vain.
Please support.

Welcome to the HP Support Community!
I reviewed your post and I understand that you are unable to activate the Nvidia GPU on the computer.
Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.
Are you playing any games on the computer?
Where are you trying to use the GPU?
Meanwhile, I recommend you follow the below steps and check if it helps.
Right-click your desktop background and select NVIDIA Control Panel. You can also find this tool by performing a Start menu (or Start screen) search for NVIDIA Control Panel or by right-clicking the NVIDIA icon in your system tray and selecting Open NVIDIA Control Panel.
To quickly set a system-wide preference, you could use the Adjust image settings with the preview option. For example, if you have old hardware that struggles to play the games you want to play, you may want to select “Use my preference emphasizing” and move the slider all the way to “Performance.” This trades graphics quality for an increased frame rate.
By default, the “Use the advanced 3D image settings” option is selected. You can select Manage 3D settings and change advanced settings for all programs on your computer or just for specific games. NVIDIA keeps a database of the optimal settings for various games, but you’re free to tweak individual settings here. Just mouse-over an option for an explanation of what it does.
If you have a laptop with NVIDIA Optimus technology — that is, both NVIDIA and Intel graphics — this is the same place you can choose which applications will use the NVIDIA hardware and which will use the Intel hardware.
Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!
