I have seen that happen if you try to force update the intel driver through inf in device manager while it being offline .
To remedy that effect you need to update your bios , remove the nvidia card , enable the integrated card through bios , uninstall the intel driver and re-install it . then disable the integrated bios again and plug back the nvidia card .
Have you find way to make it run? I want to do same thing but on GTX 980 and 650 in my case.
Not a registry fix but the following will add your second GPU into the windows menu for you:
In a command prompt:
nvidia-smi
nvidia-smi -L (gives you a list of your GPUs)
nvidia-smi -g # -dm 0 (Replace the # with whatever GPU number you are wanting to add to the menu from the last command)
Although this is a thread necro, this question has been asked over and over by people, and microsoft has failed to make the selection of a specific GPU available without downgrading to Windows 11.
After weeks of searching for an answer to what should be a simple dropdown menu, I have found an answer in this superuser post, which actually works!!!
For those not wishing to go off-site to the superuser link above, here is a copy of the post.
For Windows 10 it seems to be possible to force GPUs to be the power-saving and performance GPU respectively via a registry hack:
1. Navigate Regedit to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
2. Identify the four digit subfolders that contain your desired GPUs (e.g. by the key DriverDesc inside)
3. Create a new DWORD key inside both four digit folders, name it EnableMsHybrid
Set it to a value of 1 for the performance GPU, set it to a value of 2 for the power save GPU
4. Reboot.
The settings app should then offer the set GPUs for per app graphics settings.
Caveats of this method:
- It only works with 2 GPUs, any additional GPUs are still wasted
- The setting is only applied to DirectX and Vulkan, not OpenGLAt least for Nvidia Cards, the OpenGL GPU can be selected through their control panel app
- The default GPU cannot be selected via the Settings app, it's still the performance GPU
