While installing the graphics driver allows the system to properly recognize the chipset and the card manufacturer, updating the video driver can bring about various changes. It can improve the overall graphics experience and performance in either games or various engineering software applications, include support for newly developed technologies, add compatibility with newer GPU chipsets, or resolve different problems that might have been encountered.
When it comes to applying this release, the installation steps should be a breeze, as each manufacturer tries to make them as easy as possible so that each user can update the GPU on their own and with minimum risks however, check to see if this download supports your graphics chipset. Therefore, get the package extract it if necessary , run the setup, follow the on-screen instructions for a complete and successful installation, and make sure you reboot the system so that the changes take effect.
That being said, download the driver, apply it on your system, and enjoy your newly updated graphics card. Moreover, check with our website as often as possible in order to stay up to speed with the latest releases. It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available. Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. Joined Dec 14, Messages 4. As of about 10 days ago, I am having the same exact problem with my GP Not sure if it was windows push Intel's version 25 driver, or what.
Even opening task manager kicks in the dGPU. Disabling one or the other acts as if it is just using Nvidia as power consumption is at where it would be if it was using it, although system hangs do stop when I do this. I'm getting ready to do a factory restore, but after researching the hell out of this issue from a couple of years ago, it looks like it may not fix it.

Just gonna jump in here to say that I am also having the same issue. DDU uninstall of all Nvidia software - reinstall - issue persists. Update all Intel software - issue persists.
Clean Windows install updated to latest version - issue persists. Nvidia control panel setting makes no difference. Its interesting Joined Sep 9, Messages 3. I have a similar issue with the discrete GPU remaining active even when it should not be in use. In my case, the issue is related to using an external monitor.
Any process started afterwards will be pinned to the dGPU, and even if you unplug the external monitor and the battery, the processes will remain assigned to the dGPU and will keep it active. Luckily I figured out a partial solution: There is an utility called nvidia-smi that lets you query the graphics card for information.
With it you can get a true list of all processes that are running on the dGPU, and kill them. This then allows Optimus to switch the dGPU off. I wrote a script that automates all of that, and I run it whenever the LED is orange when it shouldn't be.
It's a bit clunky but it has solved this issue for me. Joined Dec 11, Messages Joined Apr 9, Messages I am having the exact same problem with a Brand new GS66 laptop.
I am also experiencing significant battery drain with no programs running and the laptop is running HOT on both sides of the bottom Getting 2 hours of battery life as a result consistently No bueno with a Do you have any suggestion on how to track down the culprit?
I fresh reboot windows with all startup apps disabled and its still using the DGPU
